Note the bright, pale-amber hue – typical of whisky, which has been matured in bourbon casks.The fragrance is delicate, sophisticated and clean. The key notes are floral, rather than cereal – perhaps mandarin and vanilla, with a light
smokiness. A leading Parisian perfumer has identified no less than 26 individual aromas in our malt, from apricot and bergamot to cinnamon and quince. First note the feel of the spirit as it slides over your tongue: creamy, but not cloying; clean and slightly dry on the back of the palate; medium-bodied. The flavour is well-balanced: no single feature dominates. There is a subtle smokiness; the flower and fruit scents noted earlier have changed to a delicate honey-wood, nutty flavour – some identify intriguing top-notes of fennel, spice and bergamot. The overall effect is fresh, aromatic and refined.
