Tasting Notes

Nose

Lemon zest and coconut — shortbread, toffee apples, a hint of sherry, ginger, vanilla, the unpeated Highland character clean and inviting

Palate

Toffee apples — acacia honey, nectarine in syrup, spice, toasted barley background, soft and fruity, the sherry cask adding depth without dominating, very quaffable

Finish

Medium — fruit and sweetness lingering, the slow distillation's signature smoothness, clean without any smoke

Expert Review

7/10

Scotland's slowest distillation — completely unpeated, using air-dried barley rather than kiln-dried, matured in hand-selected sherry casks. Fruit and sweetness without a hint of smoke. Toffee apples, lemon zest, coconut, and shortbread. Certified vegan and sustainably produced.
