A Rich and Welcoming Tasting Profile

The first impression is bright and lively, with fresh peach bringing a soft, juicy fruit note to the glass. As the whisky opens, richer flavours begin to emerge. Smooth fudge adds a creamy sweetness, while dried fruits provide a deeper, more concentrated character. Treacle brings a dark, rounded richness that gives the dram satisfying weight without making it feel overly heavy.

Gentle baking spices add warmth towards the finish. Think of the comforting aroma of a well-stocked kitchen, with subtle hints of spice complementing the fruit and sweetness rather than overpowering them. The result is a balanced whisky with plenty to explore, yet it remains easy to understand and enjoyable from the first sip.

Made for Slow Sipping

This is a whisky to take your time with. Pour it into a suitable glass and let it rest for a few minutes before tasting. The higher strength gives you the freedom to experience it exactly as you prefer. Drink it neat for a rich and concentrated profile, or add a few drops of water to soften the texture and reveal new details.

Its combination of ripe fruit, fudge, treacle, dried fruit, and gentle spice makes it especially appealing after dinner or during a relaxed evening at home. It also has enough depth to reward repeated tasting, making it a satisfying choice for anyone who enjoys discovering how a whisky develops in the glass.
