Flavor Profile
Sweet, Fruity & Mellow
The whisky presents a complex bouquet combining bright citrus notes of lemon balm with sweet honey lozenges, spearmint, and rich confectionery elements including cherry cream, toasted almonds, amaretti biscuits, dark rum, and chocolate.
On the palate, it displays a soft and chewy texture reminiscent of oven-baked dried spiced apple rings, with added water revealing layers of tropical fruit character, toasted brioche, and baked pears with custard-like sweetness.
The finish presents tonka bean and panna cotta notes alongside roasted peppered strawberries, leaving a soft and sweet impression that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Beautiful nose neat, lemon balm, honey lozenges, spearmint and cherry cream sundaes using chopped toasted almonds, amaretti biscuits, dark rum and chocolate as well as double cream. Soft and chewy on the palate like oven-baked dried spiced apple rings while in the finish tonka bean panna cotta with roasted peppered strawberries. Following the addition of water, we turned into botanist searching for remarkable plants in the jungle, be patient and you will be richly rewarded. A soft and sweet texture reminded some of juicy tropical fruit gums and toasted brioche while for others it was baked pears with a Sauternes custard sauce.
