- Nose
- Berry fruit notes, slightly fermented, forest honey, tea biscuits and a hint of yeast spread. The alcohol is well integrated.
- Palate
- Oak tones that transition into caramel and malt. Yeast spread with Ovaltine, cherry drops and plum jam. A slight funk, possibly a latent sulfurous note.
- Finish
- Fruity aromas with hints of plum, cocoa and malt. A richly aromatic whisky with distinct wood and spicy notes.
