Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden amber with warm honey notes and a subtle mahogany edge.
Nose
Aromas of ripe fruit—toasted banana, pear and apricot—rise with delicate florals, a hint of licorice and marshmallow, and a restrained touch of peat.
Palate
Cinnamon and allspice mingle with ripened plum, with cashew and nuts in the background. Thick on the tongue, it heats up toward the end with vanilla cookies lingering.
Finish
Peat smoke lingers on the palate as the whisky fades, finishing with a coastal hint and a subtle, minty lift.
