Tasting Notes:
An elegant and fruit-forward profile opens with ripe orchard fruits, fresh citrus and delicate floral notes layered with vanilla, honey and gentle malt sweetness. The palate develops with juicy pear, baked apple and citrus oils alongside creamy vanilla, subtle chocolate and warming spice, gradually revealing deeper malt and oak character. The finish is long and refined, carrying lingering fruit sweetness, citrus zest, soft spice and mature oak with a beautifully balanced Speyside elegance.
