Spirit Description

Known as the 'white label' expression, this spirit is a unique 'World Blended Whisky' that harmonizes young whiskies from the world's five major whisky producing regions: Scotland, Ireland, Canada, the USA, and Japan. It presents a pale gold colour with a medium body and a smooth, oily texture. The aroma is fresh and floral, featuring notes of apricot, Meyer lemon zest, vanilla cream, and a hint of toffee. On the palate, it is well balanced and approachable, delivering flavours of roasted chestnut, gingerbread, and malted barley with a subtle citrus sweetness. The finish is clean and persistent, marked by a gentle peppery spice and lingering honeyed fruit. It is bottled at 46.5% ABV, non chill filtered, and contains no artificial colouring.
