Nose

A bright and fresh breakfast style whisky with notes of toasted bread, white peach, vanilla and pink grapefruit. There’s also a slight salt tang suggesting nots of cashew nuts and honeydew melon.

Palate

The first taste is quite sweet with vanilla wafers, dried apple skins and white chocolate. This then evolves to spiced orchard fruit and a toasted oak character. There is also a hint of smoke that leads the mind to think of an earthy, woody spice feeling.

Finish

Short but very clean and refreshing. Orange barley sugar sweets, dried banana and a desiccated coconut character. The toasted bread note returns but this time spread with lemon curd and orange marmalade.
