Tasting Notes
The whisky presents an inviting bouquet of candied orange peel, dark cherries in syrup, and coffee biscuits, layered with vanilla custard and subtle notes of cured jamón, salt-grilled prawns, and barbecue smoke, finishing with a whisper of pipe tobacco.
It delivers a complex interplay of confectionery notes—candied peel, pistachio, vanilla, ginger, and dates—mingling with sherry influence, before settling into rich molasses, leather, and oak with a gentle Padrón pepper spice.
The finish is warm and satisfying, with lingering molasses and oak balanced by the subtle heat of pepper and tobacco smoke.
