Tasting Profile — Crisp, Herbaceous & Balanced

This 70cl (700 ml) expression, bottled at 43% ABV, delivers a beautifully balanced sensory experience that showcases both depth and brightness:

Nose:
A fresh and vibrant bouquet with lively herbal notes of peppermint and pine, alongside crisp hints of cucumber and melon.

Palate:
Light and refreshing with citrus bursts of yuzu and grapefruit, complemented by green fruit and subtle grassy undertones.

Finish:
Clean and lingering with a gentle, nuanced smokiness that enhances the complex layers without overwhelming the palate.

The combination of lightly peated and un-peated malts results in a whisky that’s both approachable and sophisticated — perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as the base of refined whisky cocktails.
