Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh tobacco leaf — caramelised sugar, green tea, toasted almonds, the 18 years in bourbon oak adding complexity to the Lowland lightness

Palate

Floral freshness — sweet barley sugar ebbing to tangerine zest, lots of bourbon oak coming through balanced by white fruits, the triple distillation maintaining Lowland elegance despite 18 years of wood

Finish

Toasty oak and vanilla — chocolate cake, grassiness, damp yet drying, the Lowland politeness having the final word

Expert Review

7/10

Eighteen years of triple-distilled Lowland spirit in ex-bourbon casks — the oak influence providing toasted warmth, green tea freshness, tangerine zest, and toasted almond. Polite and clever like witty small talk: pleasant and sophisticated but leaving you wanting more boldness.
