Tasting Notes

Nose: Initial delicate floral notes mingle with dried fruits like raisins and apricots, subtly underpinned by honey, a hint of almond, and a wisp of peat smoke. There's an underlying sweetness, reminiscent of shortbread and vanilla, with a touch of citrus zest.

Palate: A smooth and approachable entry, revealing layers of honeyed malt, baked apple, and dark chocolate. The 12 years in oak impart a gentle oak spice – nutmeg and cinnamon – alongside a nutty character. A whisper of smoke threads through the mid-palate, balanced by a creamy, almost buttery texture.

Finish: Medium-long and warming, with lingering notes of sweet spice, dried fruit, and a pleasant, faint smokiness that fades into a clean, malty sweetness. The oak tannins are well-integrated, leaving a sophisticated, satisfying aftertaste.
