Nose

An inviting and complex nose with layers of tea leaves, fresh pine, and dried pineapple and apple rings. Delicate hints of timber varnish add depth, while alpine strawberries and a herbal-floral note evoke the elegance of potpourri. Dusty malt and creamy vanilla yoghurt bring warmth, complemented by lemon curd and a touch of brown sugar for sweetness.

Palate

Silky with a delicate grip, this whisky delights with its sweetness and texture. The creamy richness of a mango ice cream bar is paired with toasted coconut, rye bread, roasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Melting milk chocolate adds indulgence, while notes of apple, cinnamon, and buttery biscuits elevate the experience. Remarkably delicious and deeply satisfying.

Finish

A beautifully long and evolving finish that begins with mango and strawberry jam before moving into rum balls, coconut, and chocolate. Vibrant notes of kiwi and guava pop through, alongside sweet lychee in syrup. A chewy, buttery texture leads into layers of maple syrup, butterscotch, and toffee, reminiscent of a medley of decadent desserts.
