🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Youthful and vibrant with pronounced sea air, sweet honey, and citrus zest complemented by light peat smoke and vanilla. Fresh orchard fruit and a touch of white pepper provide additional complexity.
Smooth and creamy texture with sweet malt, orange marmalade, and coastal brine balanced by gentle smoke and warming spice. The small cask maturation intensifies the sweetness and adds notes of butterscotch and toasted oak.
Medium finish with sweet smoke, vanilla cream, and a gentle warming spice that transitions to subtle maritime notes.
🥃 How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2–3 minutes before nosing — this unlocks the full aromatic profile.
A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.
Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.
