Nose: Soft floral and herbal aromas lead into sweet layers of honey, caramel, and light citrus, with just a faint, surprising whisper of peat smoke
Palate: A smooth and light-bodied mouthfeel carries gentle flavors of crisp apple, pear, and creamy vanilla, balanced by mild oak and baking spices like cinnamon
Finish: The experience concludes with a soft, medium-length fade of lingering sweet candy, honey, and a touch of dry woody spice.

Nose: A prominent oaky vanilla aroma is complemented by bright citrus notes of candied lemon and orange. Layers of apple tart, burnt sugar, and hints of cask char add depth.
Palate: The whisky delivers a lusciously sweet experience with caramel and toffee apple flavors. Creamy vanilla and spicy, toasted oak notes emerge, balanced by the candied orange peel.
Finish: The finish is long and warming, featuring rich woody spice, mellow butterscotch, toffee popcorn, and a lingering sweetness from the malt.
