Tasting Notes
Nose: Firstly, on the nose, the whisky greets you with heather honey, dark chocolate, and mocha. Cinnamon, almonds, and orange peel follow, adding warmth and depth. After a moment, freshly baked pancakes add a comforting sweetness. This complexity sets the stage for the tasting experience to come.
Palate: Then, when you taste it, dark chocolate, treacle, and mocha greet your palate first. Heather honey and almonds join in, followed by waves of cinnamon. As the flavors evolve, marmalade and grapefruit add a zesty contrast, balancing the rich sweetness. The mouthfeel remains smooth, yet intense, thanks to the higher ABV.
finish: The finish lingers, with honeyed malt and almond notes holding on. A hint of citrus cuts through, while dark chocolate mousse and fruit cake add richness. The finish also has a touch of bitterness, reminiscent of red oranges or grapefruit, providing balance and complexity.
