Tasting Notes:
Nose:
A delightful medley of warming spices, figs, toasted almonds, muscovado sugar, and coconut shavings. The signature pot still spices are elevated by the rum seasoned oak, introducing layers of ginger and candied fruits. This complements the grain whiskey’s floral character, which gently lingers, allowing the rum’s vanilla, tobacco leaf, and cacao nibs notes to shine.
Palate:
Begins with a luscious sweetness, showcasing notes of chocolate-dipped honeycomb, orange zest, and mango. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of white pepper add a gentle intensity, harmoniously blending with the herbal and earthy notes for added complexity. The whiskey’s aging in rum-seasoned casks brings an elegance and zest, while amplifying the pot still-driven fruits and sweetness.
Finish:
A long and satisfying finish, where the fruits and sweet spices linger before gracefully giving way to the underlying oak and rum seasoning. This final note caps off the experience, leaving a memorable impression that beckons for another sip.
