Tasting Notes
February 16, 2026
Nose
The whisky presents briny maritime notes reminiscent of a seaside clambake, with prominent salt spray and ocean air characteristics that evoke a coastal setting.
Palate
It delivers a complex interplay of sweet corn, buttery richness, and mineral salinity on the tongue. The maritime influence continues with subtle brine and seaweed undertones balanced against honeyed sweetness.
Finish
This cask leaves a lingering warm glow with persistent salt and smoke, fading into sweet vanilla and charred oak with a dry, slightly briny aftertaste.
