Description
Tasting Note
Nose: Deep and complex. Rich orchard fruits—baked apple, pear, and ripe peach—meld with honeyed vanilla, caramel toffee, and warm spices like cinnamon and clove. Subtle notes of oak, toasted almonds, and a touch of malted barley add depth.
Palate: Full-bodied and vibrant. Juicy stone fruits and citrus zest combine with rich caramel, dark honey, and gentle peppery spice. Layers of nutmeg and clove bring warmth, balanced by smooth malt sweetness and oak tannins. The cask strength provides intensity without harshness.
Finish: Long and warming. Lingering notes of vanilla pod, toasted nuts, and soft spice fade slowly, leaving a satisfying, mellow aftertaste.
Overall: A powerful and elegant Speyside malt, combining rich fruit, spice, and oak complexity. Cask strength amplifies its depth while preserving refinement.
