Tasting Notes
The whisky presents classic Neapolitan wafer biscuits and saffron buns, with herbaceous and sweet Mediterranean notes characteristic of its maturation.
It delivers a sweet and herbaceous profile reminiscent of Greek mulled wine, with notes of whipped Greek-style yoghurt and crunchy honey fudge clusters.
This cask shows the influence of Pedro Ximénez maturation, with lingering sweet spice and Mediterranean warmth from its time in the privately sourced barrique.
