Nose
Sweet mandarin orange, green banana, vanilla, and floral perfume. Roasted coffee, salted caramel, and honeycomb develop with air. Pot still spices — cardamom, nutmeg, freshly grated ginger — with cedarwood and charred oak adding depth.
Palate
Creamy and smooth — vanilla, red apple, baked orchard fruits, kiwi, and citrus. Soft pot still spices (cinnamon, clove, root ginger) build gradually alongside cocoa powder and sweet coffee liqueur. Polished antique wood and light tannins from the barrels.
Finish
Extra long — spices subside gently, giving way to green fruit and stalks of barley in a clean, elegant close.
