Tasting Notes
The whisky presents sharp green apple and ripe peach aromas, followed by complex notes reminiscent of Galliano liqueur with prominent star anise, ginger, citrus, juniper, and vanilla character.
A bright burst of sweet-tart citrus flavours dominates, with kumquat-like intensity followed by sweet herbal notes of woodruff. After dilution, the apples become sweeter and more polished, with emerging pine sap and honeysuckle aromatics.
The finish displays boozy melon character with a creamy, elegant quality suggestive of a Golden Cadillac cocktail, with lingering herbal sweetness and botanical complexity.
