Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a warm copper glow.
Nose
Sun-warmed agave and vanilla mingle with caramel and orange zest, a bright citrus lift balanced by soft oak. Beneath, subtle peppery spice and a whisper of coastal smoke emerge, lending depth to a clean, creamy complexity that hints at the tequila-cask finish.
Palate
Zesty lime and agave echo through a creamy core of vanilla and toasted oak. Maritime malt notes from Orkney to Islay thread with light peat, while caramel sweetness deepens into dried fruit. A sun-bright tequila-cask influence adds peppery spice and a hint of smoke, leaving a clean, lightly saline finish.
Finish
Tequila-cask finish delivers a warm, lingering glow: bright agave and lime zest mingle with vanilla and toasted oak, while a gentle peppery spice and a subtle mineral edge taper to a clean, refined finish.
