Tasting Notes:
Rich orchard fruits and mature citrus open alongside honeyed malt, polished oak and delicate maritime notes. Layers of baked apple, ripe pear and orange peel develop with vanilla, beeswax and subtle dried fruits, complemented by Inchgower’s characteristic coastal minerality and gentle savoury character. The palate is rich and beautifully matured, carrying waxy fruits, toasted malt, soft spice and restrained oak tannins into a long, elegant finish of citrus oils, warming pepper, aged wood and lingering coastal complexity.
