π Tasting Notes
Delicate aromas of heather honey and fresh barley malt intertwine with subtle orchard fruitsβgreen apple and pear. A whisper of oakiness and faint peat smoke adds complexity to this refined Highland expression.
The palate delivers a smooth, medium-bodied experience with sweet malt and honeyed cereal notes at the forefront. Gentle spices emerge alongside dried fruits and a light nuttiness, balanced by understated oak tannins.
Medium finish with lingering maltiness, a touch of warming spice, and subtle fruity sweetness that slowly fades.
π₯ How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2β3 minutes before nosing β 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.
