Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold with warm amber tinge; natural colour from quarter cask influence, medium legs
Nose
Elegant wood smoke intensifying to burning heather with ripe orchard fruit. Peach, cinnamon sugar, and fresh barley with a herbal note. The quarter cask higher wood-to-whisky ratio amplifies both smoke and sweetness
Palate
Rich peat character balanced by orchard fruit — green pear, nectarine. Nutty oak, vanilla pods, white pepper, and a twist of lime. The quarter cask maturation adds creaminess and intensity. Non-chill filtered at 46%
Finish
Medium finish with smoky peat embers infused with green pear and nectarine. Crisp and intriguing — the quarter cask influence creates a uniquely textured smoky finish different from standard cask expressions
