Nose
Tart, citrusy — lime, floral notes. Meadow honey, barley, fresh-cut green grass. Grapes, apples, hints of oak, sherry and liquorice. Lemon and cinnamon in the background.
Palate
Hits the tongue like warm honey — sweet and syrupy with floral notes and a touch of smoke. Then the beastie takes hold — a burn of cinnamon, allspice and pepper that is not for the fainthearted. Sweet to fierce in a single sip.
Finish
The burn sustains — warming, spicy and genuinely intense. The Highland character at full volume.
