Tasting Notes
February 16, 2026
Nose
The whisky presents aromas of ginger cake, nutmeg, and candied walnuts, with subtle hints of warm spice and vanilla that emerge after reduction.
Palate
It delivers a warm, thick, and intensely chocolatey character with prominent chilli pepper heat, complemented by cinnamon and vanilla spice that builds throughout.
Finish
The finish evokes a classic French poached pear dessert with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, rendered through an Aztec spice lens, with lingering warmth and complexity.
