🎨 Flavor Profile

NuttyMaltyFruityMaritimeSherryCreamy

📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Gentle and approachable with notes of toasted hazelnuts, dried fruit, and light sea air. Sherry cask influence brings subtle raisin and fig notes alongside creamy malt and a whisper of vanilla.

👅 Palate

Smooth and medium-bodied with a creamy texture showcasing walnut, toffee, and dried apricot. Delicate coastal salinity mingles with malt sweetness, sherry-soaked fruit, and hints of dark chocolate.

🔥 Finish

Medium length with warming nutty notes, light brine, and a gentle fade of dried fruit and oak spice.

🥃 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.
