The whisky presents fresh and vibrant aromas of lush green grass, cereals, and gooseberries, complemented by notes of lemon meringue pie, sticky dessert wine, and buttered crumpets.
Richness unfolds with manuka honey and singed orange skin, followed by warming spices of cinnamon and ginger. Tropical and stone fruit notes of bananas, cherries, and pear eau de vie develop alongside earthy undertones of crushed nettles, dried leaves, and walnuts that emerge with water.
The finish transitions to a layered composition of almonds, linseed oil, and citrus, sweetening into vanilla and pencil shavings. Oily nuts merge with fruity elements and tingly spices, underpinned by sweet grains, peaches, rosewater, and dry coconut husk.
Aromas were fresh and vibrant with lush green grass, cereals, and gooseberries while lemon meringue pie joined sticky dessert wine and buttered crumpets. A richness washed over the palate of manuka honey with singed orange skin before cinnamon, ginger and Indian spices combined with bananas, cherries, and pear eau de vie. Water brought an earthy tone of crushed nettles, dried leaves and walnuts before almonds, linseed oil and citrus sweetened into vanilla and pencil shavings. Oily nuts now merged with fruity cocktails with tingly spices against a backdrop of sweet grains, peaches, rosewater, and dry coconut husk.
