🎨 Flavor Profile

FruityHoneySpicyOakyDried FruitVanilla

📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

More complex than the 12-year, showcasing richer dried fruits—apricots, figs, and dates—alongside warm honey and butterscotch. Notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and polished oak add maturity, with hints of orange zest and leather.

👅 Palate

Full and round with concentrated dried fruit flavors, dark honey, and toffee. Oak spices become more pronounced with cinnamon, ginger, and clove, balanced by vanilla custard and a subtle nuttiness.

🔥 Finish

Long and sophisticated, with persistent spice, dried fruits, and warming oak that fades to sweet honey and vanilla.

🥃 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.
