Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich amber with warm golden-copper highlights; medium-full body. Extended maturation and Spanish oak finishing create a beautiful deep hue
Nose
Honey greets the nose, with orange reminiscent of marmalade mingling with cinnamon — like the best French toast. Warm and inviting
Palate
Soft mouthfeel and light body. Honey sweetness with marmalade orange, cinnamon warmth, dried fruit and gentle oak spice. Elegant and refined
Finish
Medium to long, warming with persistent honey and marmalade orange. The Spanish oak influence adds complexity without dominating the signature Highland character
