Tasting
Nose
The first nosing reveals aromas of red fruits, vanilla, and caramel. Base notes of apple and pear are complemented by a subtle, slightly perfumed oak aroma. The complex aging in seven different cask types—German virgin oak, acacia, American oak, ex-bourbon, sweet wine, chestnut, and Oloroso sherry—provides an unexpectedly deep and harmonious scent profile.
Palate
On the palate, the single malt impresses with its pleasantly oily mouthfeel and a mild sweetness. Woody caramel and hints of red fruits create an initial impact, while a gentle maltiness rounds off the overall experience. A touch of black pepper adds a pleasant spiciness without overwhelming the palate.
Finish
The finish is medium-length and shows spicy notes of oak and caramel that gradually fade. The fruity flavors remain subtly in the background, almost reminiscent of bourbon-like traits, but with a more balanced and refined approach.
