Aroma: Fruit, Cocoa and Comforting Sweetness

The first impression is rich yet inviting. Aromas of stewed plum rise from the glass, bringing a dark-fruit sweetness that is complemented by soft cocoa. There is also a tempting Black Forest gateau note, with suggestions of chocolate, ripe fruit and creamy dessert. These aromas create an appealing balance between indulgence and freshness, inviting you to take your time and explore the whisky before the first sip.

Palate: Baked Strawberry, Salted Caramel and Espresso

On the palate, the whisky opens with the warm flavour of baked strawberry, offering a gentle fruitiness rather than sharp sweetness. Salted caramel follows, adding a smooth, buttery richness with just enough savoury contrast to keep the profile balanced. A touch of espresso brings depth and a lightly roasted edge, while the whisky’s soft Speyside character keeps the overall experience relaxed and polished.

Finish: Gentle Spice and Lasting Warmth

The finish is pleasantly lingering, with gentle spice adding definition to the final moments. Fruit, cocoa and coffee notes remain in the background, leaving a satisfying warmth without becoming heavy or harsh. It is the kind of finish that encourages another thoughtful sip, making this bottle a rewarding choice for both experienced whisky drinkers and those beginning to explore older single malts.
