What to Expect in the Glass

The aroma opens with smoked heather and soft honeycomb, creating a gentle smoky impression that is inviting rather than overpowering. Bright orchard fruit brings freshness, with notes that suggest ripe apples and pears. Beneath this, dry roasted cereal adds a warm, comforting quality.

On the palate, the whisky develops into a rich blend of sweet and savoury flavours. Toffee brings a smooth caramel note, while freshly ground coffee adds depth and a touch of roasted bitterness. The oak contributes warmth and structure without hiding the malt’s natural character. The balance between smoke, fruit, sweetness, and roast makes each sip engaging from beginning to end.

The finish is lingering and satisfying, leaving traces of honeyed malt, gentle smoke, roasted grain, and coffee. Its layered profile rewards slow sipping, allowing new details to emerge as the whisky rests in the glass.
