Description
Nose
Orange zest and green apples: This combination suggests a fresh and lively aroma. Imagine the invigorating scent of freshly peeled citrus rind alongside crisp, tart apples.
White grapes: Hints of white grapes, like Sauvignon Blanc, add a touch of floral sweetness and minerality to the nose.
Puff pastry: This unexpected note adds a buttery, yeasty complexity. Think of the aroma of warm pastries baking in the oven, with a hint of sweetness.
Mossy earth and spicy oak: Earthy notes like damp soil or moss provide a grounding counterpoint to the brighter fruit aromas. The spicy oak hints at the influence of the cask maturation, promising hints of vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
Palate
Creamy vanilla toffee: The creamy texture creates a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. The vanilla toffee flavors suggest sweetness, warmth, and a touch of caramel.
Barley sugar sweets: These hard candies contribute a concentrated sweetness with a hint of malt character, complementing the vanilla.
Tart green apples: The tartness of the apples cuts through the sweetness, adding a refreshing balance and complexity.
Dry oak and white pepper: Dry oak tannins introduce a subtle astringency that dries the palate slightly. White pepper adds a touch of warmth and spice.
Warming spices: Hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger may emerge, building on the white pepper and creating a lingering warmth.
Finish
Warming and slightly sweet: The finish leaves a pleasant warmth on the tongue, like a gentle afterglow.
Lingering white pepper: The peppery spice from the palate carries over, providing a touch of lingering heat.
Touch of wood spice: A hint of oak or vanilla spice may linger, reminding you of the whisky’s aged character.
