Tasting Notes

• Nose: Yellow plum, gooseberry, toasted oats, cedar wood, and fresh scorched pine needles.

• Finish: Long and refined, with lingering warmth and echoes of the embers of a well-fired sherry cask.

Serving Suggestions
Best enjoyed neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass to fully appreciate bold smoke, peat, and citrus. A few drops of water can open up more herbal and oaky nuance. Let the whisky rest a moment after pouring to allow its complexity to settle.
