Tasting Notes
The whisky presents a complex aromatic profile combining oriental spice notes with smoked cured bacon, brown sugar, and maple syrup. These aromas create an impression of sweetness layered with savory, smoky character.
On the palate, this whisky delivers a sweet and smoky character with citrus notes reminiscent of orange and blood orange, complemented by peaty undertones. The addition of water reveals an intense impression of freshly cut hay combusting into smoke.
The finish is characterized by smoked honey on sweet bread with prominent notes of pimentón de la vera, the Spanish sweet smoked paprika contributing a warm, lingering spiced conclusion.
