Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and complex with layers of dried apricot, honeyed malt, and baked apple. Notes of polished oak, vanilla pod, and toasted almonds mingle with a gentle hint of spice and subtle coastal freshness.

Palate: Full-bodied yet refined. Flavours of caramel, dark toffee, and stewed fruits unfold into roasted nuts, soft spice, and a delicate waxy texture characteristic of long-aged Highland malts.

Finish: Long, elegant, and warming with lingering oak sweetness, dried fruit, and a touch of gentle pepper and earthy depth.
