Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Fresh, light gold with a warm hue; light-medium body, clean and bright
Nose
Creamy toffee and rich sultana sweetness with layers of orchard fruit and candied peel. Gentle vanilla oak and a soft hint of spice from the Madeira influence
Palate
Crisp and finely rounded. Orange zest, honeyed apricot, and soft biscuit mingle on the tongue with underlying nutmeg and gentle oak. The unique Faraday still produces spirit at 92% ABV, creating an exceptionally clean, light base that the Madeira finish enriches
Finish
Dry finish with mid-palate lingering honey and vanilla. Medium length. The Madeira influence provides a distinctive sweetness that separates it from standard bourbon-finished whiskies
