APPEARANCE

Deep, golden amber with a velvety viscosity.

NOSE

Rich and "greedy" (gourmand). Prominent notes of quetsche (damson plum) and almond are immediately apparent, backed by sweet honeycomb and a distinct malty, oaky aroma from the whisky base.

PALATE

Round, velvety, and perfectly balanced between sweet and sour.

Primary: Intense candied apple and ripe Japanese Ume plum.

Secondary: The whisky influence cuts through the sweetness with notes of vanilla, oak, and a hint of spice.

Texture: Silky and coating, without being cloying.

Finish Long, sweet, and persistent. The fruitiness transitions into a lingering black cherry note, leaving a gentle warming sensation and a woody, whisky aftertaste.

Serving Suggestions

Highball: Mixed with soda water (1:3 ratio) for a refreshing summer drink that highlights the oaky notes.

Perfect for gentme warming 40C  on the cold days.
