Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is light and inviting, with a blend of fresh fruit and malt. The dominant notes are of ripe apples, pears, and a subtle citrus zing, offering a refreshing opening. Beneath the fruit, there’s a soft maltiness, with a hint of toasted biscuit and a touch of honey sweetness. The oak influence is gentle, contributing a light vanilla note, along with a faint trace of almond and soft spice. There’s an underlying creaminess that adds to the overall smoothness of the aroma, making it well-balanced and approachable.

TASTE: On the palate, the whisky is smooth and medium-bodied, with a pleasant sweetness from the fruit and malt. The orchard fruits—apples and pears—are complemented by a hint of dried fruit, such as apricots and raisins. The malt character is present, offering a biscuity, almost buttery richness, with a light honeyed sweetness. The oak influence is subtle, providing a touch of vanilla and a light, warm spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—that adds depth without overpowering the fruit. The whisky remains smooth throughout, with no harshness, making it an easy-drinking yet flavorful dram.

FINISH: The finish is medium-length, with the fruit and malt notes lingering softly on the palate. The sweetness of the fruit fades gently, leaving behind a mild oakiness with a touch of vanilla and a hint of spice. The light malt character continues, providing a comforting, smooth aftertaste. The finish is clean and satisfying, with a slight creaminess that ties the entire profile together, leaving a pleasant, well-rounded impression.
