Tasting Notes: A Journey for the Senses

Upon pouring, the whisky’s golden amber color, reminiscent of warm honey and rich autumnal hues, immediately captivates the eye. Moving to the nose, you’ll detect inviting aromas of sweet vanilla and honey, perfectly intertwined with fresh orchard fruits such as crisp apples and ripe pears. Subtle floral undertones further enhance the bouquet, creating an aromatic harmony that prepares your palate for the experience ahead.

As you take your first sip, the palate reveals a full-bodied richness marked by layers of caramel sweetness and vanilla creaminess. These flavors seamlessly transition into notes of dried fruits including sultanas and figs, accompanied by warming hints of oak-derived spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. This combination gives the whisky a delightful complexity without overwhelming the senses.

Finally, the finish is long, warming, and satisfying. Lingering hints of honey and oak mingle with a gentle smokiness and a whisper of spice, encouraging you to savor each moment and anticipate the next taste. This balanced finish ensures a memorable and well-rounded whisky experience.
