🎨 Flavor Profile

SulfurousFruityTropicalMaltyWaxyHoneyed

📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Bold and unapologetic with distinctive sulfurous matchstick notes mingling with pineapple, mango, and lychee. Underneath lies a waxy, honeyed sweetness with hints of malt biscuits and a touch of old leather.

👅 Palate

Rich and oily mouthfeel delivers tropical fruit salad—pineapple and melon—alongside creamy malt and a distinctive mineral, struck-match quality. The mid-palate reveals honey, vanilla fudge, and subtle baking spices.

🔥 Finish

Long and warming with lingering tropical sweetness, a gentle sulfurous minerality, and fading notes of honey and oak.

🥃 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.
