Eye- The whisky boasts a warm, inviting amber colour with golden highlights. As you swirl it in the glass, observe the gentle legs that cascade down, hinting at the richness within.
Nose- The initial aroma offers a delightful interplay of sweet and savoury notes.

As you delve deeper, a touch of honeycomb sweetness emerges, balanced by a subtle smokiness reminiscent of a distant heather fire.
Palate- The first sip reveals a surprisingly smooth and mellow texture, a testament to the careful ageing process. Honeyed sweetness takes centre stage, complemented by flavours of golden raisins, buttery toffee, and a touch of warming cinnamon. A hint of sweet black licorice adds a surprising yet intriguing complexity, while a whisper of smoke lingers in the background, adding depth without overwhelming the palate.
Finish- The finish is pleasantly long and smooth, leaving a lasting impression of ripe fruit and gentle spice.
