TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Its tone is bright golden, with amber reflections that evoke the softness of liquid honey. It is a warm color that invites contemplation, almost like a sunset reflected in a glass.

NOSE: The first sigh reveals a fresh and enveloping fragrance, where notes of white fruits, such as pear and green apple, combine with a delicate floral touch. As it opens, more complex layers of golden honey, toasted almonds and a soft whisper of fresh herbs emerge, all intertwined with a subtle oaky background that gives it a sense of depth without being intrusive.

TASTE: On the palate, this whisky unfolds elegantly and harmoniously. The entry is silky, with a natural sweetness reminiscent of ripe fruits, accompanied by a slight acidity that adds freshness. As time passes, notes of mild spices, such as vanilla and a touch of cinnamon, are perfectly balanced with the fine wood. The finish is long, leaving a soft and slightly spicy aftertaste, with echoes of green apple and a slight unctuousness that invites further exploration.
