Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is elegant and fragrant, offering a rich bouquet of fruit and oak. Expect notes of ripe apples, pears, and citrus zest, intertwined with a touch of dried fruits such as figs and apricots. The influence of Swedish oak is evident, providing subtle herbal and woody notes, along with a light vanilla and honey sweetness. The sherry cask adds layers of complexity, with aromas of dark chocolate, raisins, and a hint of spice. The overall nose is inviting, with a perfect balance of fresh fruit, warm sweetness, and oak.

TASTE: On the palate, Moment Källa is smooth and full-bodied, with a beautifully balanced mix of sweetness, fruit, and spice. The initial flavor profile is dominated by honey, vanilla, and caramel, which give way to bright fruity notes of apples, pears, and citrus. The sherry cask brings richness to the whisky, with flavors of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and a subtle nuttiness. The Swedish oak imparts a lovely warmth, with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a light pepperiness that adds depth to the flavor profile. The whisky is well-rounded, with a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and fruity elements.

FINISH: The finish is long and satisfying, with the sweetness of honey and dried fruit lingering on the palate. The oak spice remains, providing a dry, slightly warming aftertaste with a gentle peppery kick.
