Tasting notes
The whisky displays a color reminiscent of autumn gold. The aroma profile includes toasted sticky toffee walnuts, orange compote and manuka honey, along with subtle notes of cinnamon and crystallised ginger over a base of apricot and cherry glazed brioche.
On the palate, there is a combination of warming oak spice and fine soft leather, supporting flavours of nectarine and oloroso sherry. The finish is marked by a lingering touch of white grape, providing a well-rounded and enjoyable tasting experience. ✈
