Golden Cask MacDuff single cask 54% abv
Nose: The aroma features a delicate balance of nuttiness and refined oak. Notes of almond and hazelnut with dried apricots and a hint of orange peel. The coastal origin brings maritime saltiness.
Palate: The palate offers a robust yet refined flavour profile. Initial sweetness of dried fruits transitions to a zesty orange and lemon peel, providing a crisp, refreshing contrast. The nutty undertones deepen into a full-bodied walnut and pecan flavour, complemented by hints of vanilla and peppery spice.
Finish: Long and warming. It leaves a impression of toasted oak, with spice and a residual sweetness that invites another sip.
