📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Classic blend showcasing rich malt character with toasted nuts, heather honey, and digestive biscuits. Subtle wisps of smoke mingle with toffee, dried grass, and a faint hint of citrus peel in the background.

👅 Palate

Robust and grainy with prominent cereal notes, roasted nuts, and golden syrup sweetness balanced by gentle peat smoke. Warming spices develop mid-palate alongside caramel and oak tannins that provide structure.

🔥 Finish

Medium finish with lingering malty sweetness, subtle smoke, and a drying oakiness with nutty undertones.

🥃 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.
