🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
A verdant, forest-like aroma opens with fresh mint, green apple, and delicate smoke reminiscent of burning pine needles. Subtle notes of cucumber, lemon zest, and green tea emerge alongside a whisper of white pepper and gentle peat.
The palate is crisp and refreshing with flavors of green apple, fresh herbs, and honeydew melon, balanced by a light, elegant peat smoke. Gentle sweetness from malted barley intertwines with peppermint, citrus pith, and a touch of toasted oak.
Medium-length finish with lingering herbal smoke, menthol freshness, and a subtle drying oakiness that fades with delicate green tea notes.
🥃 How to Enjoy
Best for complex single malts and aged expressions. Room temperature in a tulip or Glencairn glass.
Works well with lighter blended whiskeys. Use one large ice cube to keep dilution slow and controlled.
Opens up the aromatics on cask-strength bottlings. One small drop at a time — you can always add more.
