🎨 Flavor Profile

FruitySweetHoneyFloralPearMalty

📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Light and elegant with delicate aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and golden honey draped over fresh barley. Floral notes of heather and a whisper of sweet vanilla oak create a refined, approachable profile.

👅 Palate

Silky and gentle with a signature sweetness showcasing honeyed malt, orchard fruits, and subtle baking spices. Clean and refined with notes of pear drops, light toffee, and a touch of white pepper.

🔥 Finish

Smooth and medium length with lingering honey sweetness, soft fruit notes, and a gentle warming 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.
