Tasting Notes:
An inviting aroma of green apple, honey and ripe banana immediately opens the whisky, layered with notes of honeydew melon, fresh pear and delicate vanilla pastries reminiscent of warm vanilla crescents. Subtle Calvados-inspired apple richness adds further depth alongside soft floral undertones and gentle oak. The palate is creamy and beautifully rounded, delivering waves of honey cream, sweet orchard fruits and baked pineapple balanced by silky vanilla custard filled with stewed apple pieces. Hints of peaches, ripe banana and elegant oak spice continue to unfold, creating a rich yet refined mouthfeel. The finish is long, mellow and fruit-forward, lingering with soft vanilla sweetness, delicate oak and mature Speyside elegance.
