Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm golden amber with copper-tinged edges and a honeyed glow.
Nose
Warm, sherried sweetness opens the nose: toffee, honey, and dried fruit mingle with vanilla and oak. Orange zest and almond lift the aroma, draping a silken waxiness. A subtle cocoa nib and a wisp of smoke add refinement, underscoring a mature, classic blended Scotch fragrance.
Palate
Silky and medium-full on the palate, it delivers rich dried fruit—fig, raisin, prune—balanced by dark caramel and toffee. Sherry-influenced warmth adds cocoa, almond paste, and a hint of orange zest, with cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is long and refined, with subtle oak and lingering fruit sweetness that fades gracefully.
Finish
Long, warm finish with sherry-touched sweetness, revealing dried plum and fig, toasted oak and spice, leaving a velvety cocoa-tinged final note.
