Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden straw with a warm honey glow.
Nose
Delicate grassiness lifts with a silky oiliness, while American oak delivers vanilla and gentle toasty notes, with hints of caramel and citrus zest. A bright, creamy nose that whispers bourbon-barrel maturity and refined Highlands character.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied and oil-rich on the palate, this Teaninich coats the mouth with a creamy texture. Fresh grass and green herb notes mingle with vanilla-laden American oak, delivering subtle toffee and citrus lift. A gentle spice—white pepper—emerges mid-palate, leaving a warm, lingering finish that echoes the bourbon cask.
Finish
Long, silky finish with creamy vanilla and gentle oak from the American bourbon barrel; delicate grassy and oily notes linger, evolving into a refined warmth that persists with quiet spiced hints.
