The existing listing identifies marmalade, cocoa, vanilla, butterscotch, honey and apricot among its defining notes. This replacement keeps the focus on the named blend and its established profile without retaining unsupported ratings or promotional claims.

Tasting Notes

Expect soft malt, vanilla, butterscotch and honey, followed by orange marmalade, apricot, cocoa and gentle baking spice. The texture is designed to be accessible rather than heavily smoky. A short rest in the glass or a few drops of water can make the fruit and malt more apparent.

Food Pairings

Pair with roasted chicken, smoked salmon, aged cheddar, toasted nuts, shortbread or chocolate. The whisky’s honeyed malt and fruit character works especially well with foods that are savory, buttery or gently sweet.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat, over ice or in a highball. It is also well suited to a Penicillin, Rob Roy, Scotch Sour or other whisky cocktail where a rounded malt profile is useful. Keep heavy syrups restrained.
