FRENCH OAK EX-TAWNY

This whisky enters with a sticky, thick texture, filling the nose with dark fruits and rich maple syrup. Floral dried roses and heavy honey intertwine, while stuffed dates and nutmeg lend a spiced, nutty character. Notes of milk chocolate, affogato, and tiramisu add dessert-like sweetness, balanced by roasted coffee beans and zesty citrus. A luxurious blend of chocolate mousse, wafers, and hot chocolate powder rounds out the profile. Big, rich, and inviting, it's a harmony of sweetness, spice, and spirit character.

The palate follows through with a sticky, chewy, and very forward texture. The body is full and well-developed, showcasing salted caramel and plum jam alongside the tartness of blackberry and the buttery richness of sweet pastries and apricot crumble. There’s a depth of dark black cherries and cherry syrup, contrasted by the brightness of blood orange and pomegranate. The richness of molasses and golden syrup flows into the comforting spices of hot cross buns, all rounded off with a refreshing note of spearmint jelly and coriander seeds.

The finish is both warming and refreshing, like a breath of minty air. It lingers with the sweetness of quince paste and toasted fig, merging into dark chocolate and espresso. Toffee and brown sugar add a sticky sweetness, while cinnamon quills bring warmth. The finish is tied together with a marmalade rich in skins, and a floral note of orange blossom that lingers beautifully.
