Nose
Sweet vanilla and caramel weave with gentle peat smoke and roasted orchard fruits. Fresh pear, white peach, honeyed malt, and soft vanilla rise immediately. Notes of citrus zest, delicate florals, and lightly toasted oak give lift and finesse.
Palate
Rich and honeyed with notes of custard, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Orchard fruit — pear, apple, apricot — blends with honeycomb, barley sweetness, lemon curd, and gentle oak spice. Hints of white chocolate, soft herbal tones, and malt richness evolve across the palate. Vanilla custard, malted barley, candied lemon, runny honey. Lime juice, white peach, and under-ripe banana.
Finish
Long and warming, carried by smoky barley and subtle spice. Clean, graceful, and lingering. Malt sweetness, light fruit, vanilla, and refined oak taper into a delicately warming fade. Balanced, elegant, and exceptionally pure. Short-medium length. Light earthy & ashy peat and cigar smoke, more barley, vanilla pods, and runny honey. Touches of white peach & sweet coconut.
