Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh and vibrant — green apples, citrus, honey, sea breeze, salt, vanilla, light oak, the maritime character immediately evident

Palate

Smooth and medium-bodied — crisp apples, toffee, sweet malt, lemon zest, creamy vanilla, gentle briny tang, the bourbon cask providing sweetness to balance the coastal salinity

Finish

Clean and long — salt, light oak, delicate sweetness, the maritime roots persisting in the warm close

Expert Review

7/10

The maritime malt — from Wick, the historic fishing town on Scotland's far northeast coast. Entirely bourbon cask-matured for twelve years. Green apples, sea breeze, honey, toffee, and a gentle briny tang. Coastal, fruity, and well-balanced. No frills, just good single malt from Wick.
