Tasting Notes
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.
