A fruity, floral nose gives way to a rougher palate of lemon, virgin oak, liquorice and pepper, with rum influence sometimes overshadowing the young malt.

Aikan French Single Malt is a single malt whisky presented at a notably high natural strength, with this 2025 release drawn from a 2017 vintage. The label’s "Tropical Ageing" points to maturation in a warm climate, a style often associated with faster cask interaction and a more concentrated profile.
