Tasting Notes
The whisky presents prune and armagnac notes alongside plum wine and Peshwari naan, with hothouse flowers, treacle toffee, and cough syrup. When reduced, it reveals Seville orange marmalade, old sherry, camomile tea, cinnamon swirls, and apple and rhubarb crumble.
The palate is perfumed and penetrating, offering moscatel wine, coconut, and jam teacakes with tangerines, cocoa butter, and candied walnuts. At reduced strength, briny olives and charcuterie emerge alongside oaked Rioja and chocolate raisins.
The finish is marked by ginger and cloves at full strength, transitioning to dry leather notes when the whisky is reduced.
