Nose: There is warm caramel overlaying a citrus like lemon peel, with cedar pine, salt, a refreshing note like fresh linens.
Palate: We start with charcoal of the barrel before milk chocolate evolves on the tongue. There is a tangy note on the tongue but the whiskey remains airy and light. The midpalate displays sweet fruit like melon and vanilla. The close is tangy with notes of salted plum.
Finish: There is a light smoke with coffee grounds and white sugar holding across the tongue. It is soft and muted but present.

Nose: Intense yet balanced. Bursting with rich dried fruit, ripe apples and citrus, with honey sweetness and a generous chord of creamy vanilla. Slightly chocolaty and floral in the background.
Palate: Fragrant spices and Christmas cake, with layers of chocolate and a distinct dark toffee sweetness.
Finish: There is a hint of salty sea air on the finish, a clear connection to the influence of the sea on this single malt.
