Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
A harmonious blend of fruity and floral notes typical of Muscatel, with ripe berries, apricots, and possibly a hint of floral honeysuckle. The Concerto barley may contribute a solid malt foundation, offering flavors of toasted cereal and a touch of sweetness. The Islay character brings a subtle maritime influence, adding complexity with whispers of sea spray.
