Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich burnished amber — designed as unique Pantone-certified natural color from 100% natural cask influence
Nose
Rich and warm — dried fruit, dark chocolate, and orange peel. Honey, vanilla, and toasted oak. Cinnamon, ginger, and subtle leather. The natural color collaboration with Pantone celebrating whisky's visual character
Palate
Full-bodied. Rich dried fruit (raisin, fig), dark chocolate, and orange marmalade. Honey, vanilla, and warm oak spice. Cinnamon and ginger with gentle leather. Balanced and rich with the characteristic depth that earned its distinctive natural color
Finish
Long, warm finish. Dried fruit and chocolate persist with orange, warm spice, and lingering oak. Honey sweetness fades gradually
