The whisky presents strong menthol and mint vapours reminiscent of muscle rub, complemented by sandalwood incense, almond biscuits, cumin, and caraway seeds.

Dry pencil shaving and nutmeg notes give way to floral honey, butterscotch, and nut butter, before warming ginger wine emerges. Water opens up fresh laundry and aromatic tea leaves with orange sherbet and icing sugar, alongside hazelnut oil, toffee, and custard cream biscuits with whipped cream.

The finish combines cocoa nibs and fragrant tobacco with exotic wood resins, concluding with a lasting character of burnt cranberries.
