Tasting Notes

Nose: Bright and inviting. It opens with fresh citrus zest (orange and lemon) mixed with warm vanilla, honeyed malt, and a delicate hint of festive dried fruits and marzipan.

Palate: Silky and medium-bodied. The flavor profile shifts from fresh green grapes to rich caramelized pear and baked apples. This fruitiness is layered with creamy toffee, vanilla custard, and a smooth undercurrent of light oak and cocoa.

Finish: Medium to long. It rounds out with warming baking spices like clove and nutmeg, leaving behind a lingering flavor of stewed apples and subtle dark chocolate.

Serving Recommendations

Because of its balanced and smooth character, it is highly versatile. Experts at Whiskey Caviar suggest enjoying it neat in a Glencairn glass or with a small splash of water to open up the delicate orchard fruit and sherry layers. It also serves as an excellent, elevated base for an Old Fashioned or a classic Whiskey Sour.
