TASTING NOTES

COLOR: The whiskey has a bright golden amber color, with nuances reminiscent of honey in its purest state. The warm hue is deep but clean, evoking a sense of softness in its visual appearance.

NOSE: As the glass approaches, the first impact is a subtle smoky breeze that intertwines with notes of ripe fruits, such as pears and red apples, bringing freshness. Over time, the smoke unfolds slowly, in layers, giving way to spicy wood nuances and a touch of soft honey that softens the intensity of the peat. A light touch of nutmeg and delicate florals accentuate the complexity of the nose.

TASTE: It presents itself with a velvety texture, which allows the flavor to unfold smoothly. The smokiness is elegant and delicate, not overpowering, and is accompanied by a perfect balance with fruity notes reminiscent of candied citrus and ripe apricot. The finish is clean and smooth, with a subtle hint of caramel and light toasted wood, leaving a lasting impression, yet fresh and light.
