Tasting note

Nose

A captivating aroma of ripe autumn fruits mixed with soft notes of oak and a subtle hint of peat smoke.

On the tongue, complex layers of dried fruit, nutty maltiness and spicy accents unfold, harmoniously balanced with gentle vanilla and florality.

Finish

The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering warmth that transitions to a dry elegance, witnessing the long ageing and quality of the Highlands.
