Tasting Notes
Colour
A luxurious deep amber-gold, richly hued with coppery bronze highlights and a faint mahogany edge.
Nose
Time-warmed and refined, this nose opens with polished oak and honey, supported by orchard fruit—apple and pear—draped in vanilla and almond. A whisper of malt and a gentle spice linger, hinting at decades in cask and the quiet elegance of pre-war Speyside.
Palate
Silky and refined, the palate unfolds with honeyed orchard fruit, dried apricot, and nutty sherry notes, complemented by almond and a touch of cocoa. Seamless oak, faint spice, and a whisper of citrus zest frame a long, elegant finish.
Finish
An exceptionally long, elegant finish unfolds with delicate sherried fruit, dried raisins and orange zest, layered over polished oak. Subtle spice and cocoa linger, a refined echo of pre-war Speyside maturity.
