PEAR, ALMOND, VANILLA.

This exceptional single malt whisky is matured in a unique blend of European and American oak casks, sherry seasoned in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.

Delve into a world of flavour nuances, where the essence of fresh pear and almond biscotti takes centre stage. Through a breathtaking catwalk experience, vibrant fabrics and colour choices evoke the freshness of the unique pear flavour note, while the fluid texture of a golden dress represents the almond biscotti flavour profile that is revealed with 'a cut' of water.

AROMA
The delicate scent of ripe pear blends with subtle notes of almond biscotti, enriched with a gentle undertone of vanilla. The sherry from the oak casks creates a deep, warm base that completes this aromatic experience. A light hint of freshness from water adds a unique dimension to the scent.

TASTE
The taste starts with a fresh, juicy pear note, which quickly makes way for the sweet and crunchy taste of almond biscotti. Followed by a creamy vanilla undertone that ties it all together. Sherry seasoned oak casks add a depth and warmth that rounds off the experience and adds a remarkable complexity. With a cut of water, further layers of flavour open up, revealing a subtle sweetness and a soft, silky finish.
