On the nose, this whisky offers a delightful bouquet of fresh fruits, with prominent notes of green apples and juicy pears, complemented by a subtle hint of vanilla. The palate is equally inviting, with a smooth and creamy texture that reveals layers of sweet malt, ripe melon, and a touch of oak spices. The balance between the fruity sweetness and the gentle oak influence creates a harmonious and enjoyable drinking experience.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of mellow apricot and a gentle, warming spice. This whisky is an excellent choice for those new to single malts, as well as seasoned enthusiasts looking for a well-crafted, approachable expression that showcases the unique terroir of Islay without the intensity of peat smoke.
