Tasting Notes

Nose: A light and approachable nose, with immediate notes of sweet grain, malt, and a delicate touch of honey. Hints of dried hay, green apple, and a whisper of citrus peel emerge, along with a subtle, almost unnoticeable wisp of distant smoke, typical of some Highland or Speyside malts in a blend.

Palate: The palate is surprisingly soft and smooth for its proof, offering a gentle sweetness of vanilla and caramel, intertwined with the crispness of green fruit and a light malty backbone. There's a faint peppery spice that quickly fades, followed by a buttery texture and a touch of oak. It's designed for easy drinking, lacking harsh edges.

Finish: A short to medium finish, clean and dry. It leaves behind a lingering impression of sweet grain, a hint of white pepper, and a very subtle, pleasant malty dryness. No overwhelming complexity, but a neat and agreeable conclusion.
