Nose: The aromatic introduction is an enticing blend of dried fruits, warm oak, and a subtle undercurrent of malt sweetness. Aromas of figs, dates, and raisins dance alongside notes of vanilla and honey.
Palate: The cask strength delivery amplifies the impact, with a bold interplay of dark chocolate, spiced oak, and a hint of nutmeg. Orchard fruits, including ripe apples and pears, add a layer of brightness to the palate. The mouthfeel is robust and full-bodied, a testament to the whisky's age and strength.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with echoes of dried fruits, a touch of leather, and the warmth of oak. The cask strength intensity persists, leaving a lasting impression that resonates on the palate.
