Written By Kaan Buyukkopru

  • Region: Speyside, Scotland.

  • Casks: American oak for sweetness, European oak for spice.

  • Style: Smooth, balanced, elegant.

  • Taste: Orchard fruits, toffee, dark chocolate, gentle spice, oak.

  • Finish: Long, warm, vanilla and oak that linger.

  • Vibe: A quiet conversation at dusk; mature, thoughtful, endlessly charming.

Appearance
Golden like late afternoon sunlight, glowing with the patience of eighteen years in oak.

Nose
Fresh orchard fruits, pears, apricots, a touch of orange zest. Then comes warm cinnamon, clove, honey, toffee, and polished oak, like stepping into an old library.

Palate
Silky and creamy in texture. Ripe fruit returns, joined by rich toffee, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts. The oak frames everything beautifully without overpowering.

Finish
Long and warming, vanilla, gentle spice, and oak that linger like a quiet embrace at dusk.
