Nose
On opening the bottle, aromas of ripe fruit and subtle oak notes meet you, accompanied by a touch of vanilla and the warm sweetness of toffee. Harmoniously blending honey, precious wood and a variety of fruits such as medlar, wild berries and citrus.
Palate
The whisky unfolds a complex interplay of flavours, with hints of juicy plums, spicy oak, and a delicate balance of floral undertones. Opulent notes of red fruits, led by blueberry, enhanced by the freshness of citrus fruits and medlar. Nuances of mint and licorice bring persistent freshness, evolving towards more vegetal and woody notes, with an accent of refined cedar. The profile is completed by bitter touches of cocoa, balanced by the sweetness of fine caramel.
Finish
The finish is long and satisfying, with an elegant blend of sweetness and a slightly spicy aftertaste that leaves a lasting impression. Prolonged, marked by a pleasant bitterness with notes of clove and orangette, while retaining a lingering sweetness reminiscent of milk chocolate.
