Tasting Notes
February 16, 2026
Nose
The whisky presents a complex bouquet of engine oil, putty, and vanilla fudge, with subtle notes reminiscent of rum-soaked textiles and chamois cloth.
Palate
It delivers a distinctive combination of sugar-coated fennel seeds, jellied liquorice, banana fritters, and brown sugar, balanced by sweet smoke, tar, and ash with hints of tropical fruit.
Finish
The finish is clean and approachable, with lingering notes of cough sweets and gentle smoke that gradually fade.
