Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with a warm copper glow and a whisper of mahogany at the rim.
Nose
Opulent nose of blackcurrant cordial and mixed berry jam, punctuated by black grape jelly and a chutney or reduced balsamic note. Aromatic, winey oak and malty brown bread provide a polished, savoury backbone, hinting at the whisky's bold, fruit-forward character.
Palate
Blueberry and black grape ride a firm, malty brown-bread backbone, kissed by dark honey. The mouthfeel is jammy and cordial, with a cool menthol lift and bramble jelly echoes.
Finish
Red and black fruits flood the finish, giving way to a malty core; a chutney-like dryness lingers, with brambly, savoury whispers that persist.
