Tasting Notes

Nose:

Opens with light, fruity notes influenced by our distillation.

Being cask strength allows for intense waves of fresh green apple followed by candied tropical fruits.

Lasting hints of dry, earthy peat smoke become the backbone for this release.

Palate:

Noticeably powerful at cask strength allowing for a concentrated palate combining citrus notes of lemon and orange peel.

As the whisky opens it reveals a dominant honeycomb-sweetness that makes way for a profile driven by milk chocolate, provided by a Bourbon-rich maturation.

Finish:

A slight cracked black pepper spice combined with nutmeg.

The oily, rich texture of this whisky delivers an increasingly smoky influence.

Overall, a unique balance of heavily peated malt, slow distillation, and oak character.
