Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with coppery glints and a mahogany edge.
Nose
Warm dried fruits rise from the glass—prune, fig, and raisin—layered with luscious sherry sweetness, creamy vanilla, and a kiss of toffee. Subtle baking spices—cinnamon, nutmeg—drift over toasted oak, with a delicate citrus lift. An elegant, inviting aroma that hints at the whisky's full, well-balanced character.
Palate
Full-bodied and velvety, the palate unfolds with warming dried fruits—figs, raisins, dates—touched by luscious sherry sweetness. Smooth vanilla threads through the mid-palate, while subtle cooking spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—impart lift. A balanced oak backbone supports a long, warming finish.
Finish
Long, velvety finish where warmed dried fruits and lush sherry sweetness persist, underscored by smooth vanilla. A measured whisper of baking spice and oak lingers, leaving a refined, warming glow that slowly fades.
