Tasting Notes
The whisky presents a rich bouquet of toffee, damson jam, fennel seeds, tonka beans and red wine notes. With the addition of water, the nose develops into aromas of pistachio cake, olive oil, malt loaf and apricot jam.
The palate is full-bodied with butter-fried barley, salted beeswax caramel and honey-spiked clotted cream, followed by subtle notes of allspice and Jamaican rum. As water is introduced, the palate reveals layers of honey, beeswax, Scottish tablet and tobacco-smoked pork with sage stuffing on a stroopwafel base.
The whisky concludes with lingering impressions of allspice and rum character, transitioning to honeyed sweetness and subtle tobacco-smoked spice.
