Honey, vanilla and orchard fruit open a clean, gently aromatic Speyside profile. Citrus and a light grassy note add freshness, while soft malted barley gives the palate quiet roundness and balance. The finish is smooth, delicate and lingering rather than weighty. Serve neat or with a few drops of water, alongside roasted almonds, mild cheese, smoked trout or an apple tart with restrained sweetness.

Cereal and orchard fruit open the nose, with vanilla, citrus and peach adding freshness. The palate is silky and herbaceous, layering ripe apple, white grape and biscuit with orange blossom and a light cocoa note. Maturation in bourbon and refill sherry casks gives the whisky gentle depth while preserving its grassy, fruit-led character. The finish is balanced and quietly warming, with garden herbs, citrus peel and soft oak lingering. Serve neat or add a small amount of water.
