TASTING NOTES
NOSE
A harmonious blend of fruity and floral on the nose, typical of Muscatel, with ripe berries, apricots, and possibly a hint of floral honeysuckle.
TASTE
The Concerto barley may contribute a solid malt foundation, offering flavors of toasted cereal and a touch of sweetness.
FINISH
The Islay character brings a subtle, but long-lasting, maritime influence, adding complexity with whispers of sea spray.
