Description
Tasting Note
Nose: Elegant and expressive. Fresh orchard fruits—green apple, ripe pear, and a hint of quince—meld with honeyed vanilla and soft malt. Subtle floral notes of elderflower and chamomile intertwine with a faint touch of beeswax and a whisper of oak spice.
Palate: Smooth and well-rounded. Juicy stone fruits—peach and apricot—combine with caramel toffee, almond praline, and a delicate spice of cinnamon and nutmeg. The malt’s sweetness is balanced by a gentle herbal bitterness and a touch of citrus zest.
Finish: Long and refined. Lingering notes of honeyed barley, soft vanilla, and a hint of oak fade gracefully, leaving a clean and warming embrace.
Overall: A beautifully aged Speyside malt that balances fruitiness with subtle complexity. Cask strength enhances depth without overpowering its elegant character.
