Flavor Profile
Spicy & Sweet
The whisky presents beeswax and lemon skins with candied citrus and sweet pickled ginger, layered over jasmine tea leaves, fresh straw, and polished wood.
Waxy textures coat the palate with a burst of chilli heat that transitions into honey, green apples, and citrus oils complemented by strong black tea. Water accentuates woody aromas of dusty sawdust and wood oils before revealing rosewater, fresh pineapple, and strawberries alongside toffee apples.
The peppery heat fades to a tingly ginger with lemon pith and sherbet, while buttery and chalky textures coat fine-grained wood. Banana sweets and ginger nut biscuits emerge with lime skin on a clean, lingering finish.
Beeswax and lemon skins joined candied citrus and sweet pickled ginger on a bed of jasmine tea leaves, fresh straw and polished wood. Waxy textures continued onto the palate with a burst of chilli heat that sweetened into honey, green apples and citrus oils in strong black tea. Water accentuated woody aromas of dusty sawdust and wood oils before rosewater, fresh pineapple and strawberries appeared alongside toffee apples. The peppery heat had now faded to tingly ginger with lemon pith and sherbet. Buttery and chalky textures coated fine grained wood while banana sweets and ginger nut biscuits found lime skin on a clean finish.
