Taste & character
Nose The whisky opens with rich notes of dried fruit, dark cherries, and a hint of toffee. Subtle undertones of almond and fresh vanilla provide an elegant complexity.
Palate The palate is full-bodied and silky smooth. Nuances of ripe plums and candied orange peel meld seamlessly with spicy oak influences, featuring detectable notes of star anise and a pinch of nutmeg.
Finish A long, warming finale with a light dryness from the sherry casks, concluding with notes of dark chocolate and a soft, honeyed sweetness.
Serving tips & combinations
Pure enjoyment: For the best experience, enjoy this single malt neat in a tulip-shaped Glencairn glass at room temperature. If desired, add one or two drops of spring water to further unlock hidden aromas and reveal the whisky's rich, oily texture.
Food pairing: While excellent on its own, this whisky pairs beautifully with:
A piece of artisanal dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa).
Aged, crumbly cheeses such as a mature Cheddar or an artisanal farmhouse Gouda.
