Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich honey-gold with a deep amber glow and sun-warmed copper highlights
Nose
Elegant, refined nose with honeyed orchard fruit—ripe pear and apple—drifting over creamy vanilla and a delicate malt sweetness. Subtle citrus zest, toasted oak, and a faint floral lift add balance, creating a polished, classic Speyside perfume.
Palate
Delicate yet expressive, the palate pours honeyed orchard fruit, bright citrus and creamy vanilla. Subtle spice unfolds against soft waxy notes and gentle oak, providing quiet elegance and balance. A silky mouthfeel leads to a refined finish, where warm sweetness lingers with hints of almond and citrus zest.
Finish
Silky and persistent, the finish reveals vanilla-soaked toffee, framed by dried fruit and almond. Gentle spice circles the palate as oak sweetness lingers, fading to a warm, honeyed glow with elegant, enduring length.
