WHISKY FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW
Matured at the pace of the Island
Currants and stone fruit lead on the nose, with a jammy richness and hints of black currant. The palate follows through with dark fruit and raisins, layered with Christmassy notes, warm spice, and a gentle sherry sweetness. Lighter and a little sharper in the mouth, it remains smooth and well balanced as the flavours carry into a long, subtle finish, fading evenly.
TASTING NOTES
VANILLA, TROPICAL FRUIT AND SPICE
NOSE
Sweet spice, tropical fruits, grapes.
PALATE
Cream and vanilla straight away, tropical fruit comes through more subtly, touch of spice.
FINISH
Long, mild, vanilla fades away, fruit comes through stronger.
BALANCE
Good balance between the tropical fruit and the vanilla.
MOUTHFEEL
Soft, round, gentle.
PERFECT SERVE
Neat and / or with water, our distiller is a purist.
