Official Tasting Notes:

• Colour: A rich, warm amber with hints of ruby and gold, reflecting the influence of the Pinot Noir cask. The colour is deep and inviting, hinting at the whisky’s complexity and depth.
• Nose: The nose is vibrant and alluring, with initial notes of dark berries—blackberry, raspberry, and a touch of black cherry—intertwined with the subtle sweetness of stewed fruit. As it opens, nuances of gently toasted oak, and a faint whisper of smoke come through, giving the whisky a beautifully earthy and mature character with an undercurrent of leather and tobacco that round out the nose, offering both warmth and sophistication.
• Palate: On the palate, this whisky is soft and silky, with a lush, full-bodied texture that coats the mouth. The first sip is an explosion of rich fruitcake and a warming spice. The Pinot Noir influence becomes more pronounced with its gentle tannic quality, adding a dry yet balanced complexity. There’s a touch of dark chocolate and ruby pinot that lend an elegance to the whisky.
• Finish: Long and evolving, with fruit notes lingering and fading into a soft, almost velvety structure. The warm spices continue to develop, leaving traces of dried red fruit, dark chocolate, aged tobacco and a delicate oakiness. The final impression is that of a smooth, rounded whisky, with the cask’s influence lingering subtly on the palate.
