Nose
Upon nosing, the presence of smoke is ever-present, discernible but elegantly balanced, offering a dry and earthy character to the whisky. This artful composition allows the oak to shine through, revealing delightful waves of golden caramel, fudge, and luscious vanilla custard. Hints of ginger, nutmeg, and clove further enhance the aromatic profile, contributing to a tapestry of rich and inviting scents.
Palate
The palate of this exceptional whisky showcases a notable delicacy and softness in both texture and style. The superb balance of flavours is evident, with the gentle smoke gracefully enveloping the inherent sweetness drawn from deep within the oak. A delightful fusion of coconut, vanilla custard, and lemon honey mingles with intriguing hints of smoked oysters and the evocative essence of sun-baked salty sand.
Finish
While the smoky character remains present and distinct, it is beautifully complemented by the soft sweetness reminiscent of fudge and malted barley. Hints of zesty orange, succulent mango, and delectable Banoffee pie showcase the remarkable depth and exceptional quality of the oak used in its maturation.
