Visual Appearance:
The whisky showcases a light golden color, emanating hues reminiscent of sunlit straw. The liquid forms slow, elegant legs upon swirling, signifying a balanced viscosity.
Nose (Aroma):
A bouquet of fragrant aromas greets the olfactory senses immediately upon pouring. Notes of fresh orchard fruits like apples and pears are prominent, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and a delicate floral backdrop. A soft layer of toasted oak lends complexity to the nose.
