Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
In the glass, the whisky boasts a deep golden hue with hints of amber, reflecting the age and quality of the spirits blended within.
Nose (Aroma):
The aroma begins with a symphony of floral notes that segues into nuanced undertones of dried fruits and sweet spice. You may also detect a whiff of soft smoke and layers of rich honey, a complex but harmonious olfactory experience.
Palate (Taste):
This is a whisky of elegance and grace, just like the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. The taste profile is resplendent with flavors of orchard fruits like apple and pear, accented by indulgent notes of creamy vanilla and rich chocolate. A whisper of smoky peat is present but does not overwhelm, allowing other components like almonds and mild spices to shine through.
Finish:
The finish is enduring, smooth, and layered. The interplay of sweet and spicy elements leaves an everlasting impression, complemented by a touch of oak and a sense of mineral dryness, reminiscent of a crisp ocean breeze.
Mouthfeel:
The whisky's texture is remarkably velvety, making every sip an experience in luxury. The higher-than-average ABV of 43.8% adds a desirable robustness without any hint of harshness.
