Nose
fresh, aerated. Wonderful fragrances of peach, mango and passion fruit characterise the tones of the aromatic palate, marked by an exoticness that is hard to ignore. The herby notes of mint, lemon balm, and rosemary anchor the tasting experience firmly in Speyside.
Palate
delicate and generous. Flowery with hints of lavender and poppy, the palate then ventures into syrupy territory, with notes of peach and sultanas. The spices that appear on the mid-palate - like pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon - are delicious and underline the finesse of the flavour palette.
Finish
both bold and silky. With its salinity and acidic apple flavours, the start of the finish blurs lines and takes us on a journey to the world of Calvados. Then, notes of melon, watermelon and strawberry accentuate the freshness of the finish. In the back of the mouth, a superb layer of vanilla.
