Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm gold with subtle copper tones; the tequila cask finishing adds a distinctive warmth to the natural colour
Nose
Ripe pineapple, creme brulee, mixed nuts, and light oak. Lime, honey, vanilla, green banana, and a hint of barrel char. The tequila cask influence creates a unique tropical-citrus nose unlike any other Scotch finishing
Palate
Bursting with caramelised agave, toasted almonds, baked apples with custard, and warming spice. Rich yet dry on the palate. The tequila cask finishing for 2 years creates a fruity, floral dram with sweet, warming notes. An experimental limited edition showcasing cask innovation
Finish
Long finish with brown spice and sweet citrus bursts. The agave influence lingers through almond and apple notes. A bold experiment that delivers genuine complexity from the tequila cask interaction
