Tasting Notes:

Nose: An elegant and wonderfully expressive bouquet, opening with ripe golden apples, fresh pears and delicate citrus zest. Creamy vanilla and soft honey gradually emerge, accompanied by hints of white peach, toasted coconut and lightly polished oak. With time in the glass, subtle floral notes and gentle baking spices develop, creating an inviting balance between vibrant fruit and mature bourbon-cask sweetness.

Palate: Beautifully textured and richly layered, with flavours of honeyed orchard fruits, vanilla custard and caramelised sugar. Sweet apples, ripe peaches and delicate tropical fruit notes provide freshness, while toasted almonds, soft oak spice and creamy malt introduce depth and structure. The natural cask strength provides a satisfying intensity without overwhelming the whisky's refined character, allowing the elegant fruit sweetness and mature oak influence to develop gradually.

Finish: Long, warming and beautifully balanced, with lingering vanilla, honey and soft orchard fruits. Gentle notes of toasted oak, citrus peel and white pepper emerge towards the end, leaving a refined, slightly drying conclusion with delicate sweetness and mature Speyside elegance.
