Tasting Notes:
Elegant aromas of juicy pear, green apple and white peach open the whisky, layered with tropical hints of papaya, pineapple and ripe banana alongside soft vanilla cream and floral undertones. The palate is silky and fruit-forward, revealing pear sorbet, mango, melon and honeyed sweetness balanced by creamy oak, gentle spice and subtle herbal freshness. A lightly oily texture carries the whisky into a long, refined finish filled with lingering orchard fruits, delicate pepper, vanilla and beautifully integrated mature oak complexity.
