📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Elegant and refined with fresh orchard fruits—crisp apples and ripe peaches—alongside orange blossom and acacia honey. Subtle hints of vanilla pod and gentle oak provide depth without overwhelming the delicate fruit character.

👅 Palate

Smooth and silky with layers of citrus fruits, creamy vanilla, and honeyed sweetness. The mid-palate reveals subtle baking spices, hints of tropical fruits, and a gentle oakiness that adds structure.

🔥 Finish

Medium length, warming with lingering fruit, gentle spice, and a whisper of floral honey.

🥃 How to Enjoy

Recommended
🥃
Neat

Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2–3 minutes before nosing — this unlocks the full aromatic profile.

💧
A Drop of Water

A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.

🧊
On the Rocks

Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.

💡 Older expressions (15+ years) and peated malts are best neat or with a single drop of still water.
