🔬 Whiskey Details
🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Robust and assertive with dark chocolate, toffee, and baked apple interlaced with charred oak and Christmas spices. Layers of roasted nuts, dried apricot, and a hint of espresso create a concentrated, almost cognac-like intensity.
Bold and full-bodied at 51.4% ABV, delivering waves of honey-glazed almonds, orange marmalade, and burnt caramel with pronounced oak tannins. Black pepper, cinnamon bark, and dark fruit compote provide a rich, warming complexity.
Long and persistent with clove-studded oranges, toasted oak, and a pleasantly drying spiciness that evolves beautifully.
🥃 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.
