The first-fill bourbon cask is a clear point of interest. Citrus and orchard-fruit notes sit alongside malt, with a lightly oaked finish; that combination makes for a balanced, appealing character.

The fruit-led character is the clearest draw here. Green apple peel on the nose gives company to citrus and jammy apricot, while the palate broadens into cantaloupe, grapefruit and orchard fruits. Malted biscuit and white chocolate offer a gentle counterweight to that fruit and sweetness. The medium-to-long finish carries citrus zest into soft grassiness and herbaceous notes. For a fruit-focused palate, that range and balance look especially appealing, with white pepper and ginger adding a distinct spicy contrast.

A bright mix of citrus and orchard fruit, with malted biscuit and vanilla keeping it grounded. The medium-to-long finish with soft herbs and light oak sounds especially appealing. There is plenty of clear flavour detail here.
