Appearance

Brilliant deep copper with golden amber flashes, housed in a sleek bottle with a wooden top and subtle silhouettes of its creators on the label—a visual nod to East-West collaboration.

Nose

Aromas of roasted almonds, coconut macaroons, brown sugar, and dried dark fruits rise from the glass. The sherry and red wine cask influence is immediately apparent, offering depth and warmth.

Palate

The flavor journey begins with bold oak spice, followed by bursts of red berries, leather, and toasted caramel. The sherry finish brings notes of raisin, clove, and cinnamon, while the wine cask influence imparts softer, fruity elegance.

With a splash of water, the whiskey opens beautifully—revealing flavors of cornbread, vanilla blossom, and floral sweetness, making each sip more nuanced.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering notes of dark cherry, baking spice, and subtle toasted oak. A sophisticated finish that invites contemplation.
