Light, brisk aromas suggest fresh-cut red apple and a white floral breeze. The palate wraps light smoke around a core of juicy fruit, finishing with perky, peppery spice. It's easy drinking and approachable.

What critics and judges wrote
Fresh aromas of red apples, pear, and florals meet warm vanilla spice and a kiwi tartness on the palate. A rounded sweetness with a touch of heat at the close.

An earthy character with aromas of fresh soil and dried basil, hay, and lavender. The palate enjoys soft fruit and dark chocolate flavours, finishing with a subtle peppermint note.
The drink features blend of pepper, savoury spices, and a hint of burnt elements. It features gritty cereal and a slightly bitter finish.
Fresh, crunchy apples and a light lemon citrus alongside toasted sweet vanilla spice.
This dram is a really meaty and muscular mouthful. Big, peppery and spicy flavours try to dominate but are balanced so nicely with much more subtle notes of Jasmine tea, runny honey, creamy vanilla and juicy, sweet tangerine.
An avalanche of tropical fruits, such as fresh passion fruit and ripe, cooked pineapple. Soft orchard fruits coated in thick toffee and sprinkled with cinnamon. An elegant dram with an equally elegant and refined finish.
The standard 12 year old bottling gives a perfect idea of its potential. This is as soft and sweet a malt as you could ask for: peaches, toffee, and baked apple, with a tobacco/cedar/pine note from the oak.
The delicate nose brings floral and herbal notes together with hints of chamomile and fresh fruit. Moving on to the palate, there’s a hint of malt together with tropical fruit notes.
