Tasting notes

• Colour : Clear and luminous, suggesting fine clarity and an elegant sheen in the glass.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve at room temperature in a tulip glass or a whisky glass that concentrates the aromas. A splash of pure water can be added sparingly to open the palette without diluting the spirit’s identity. Avoid excessive ice if you wish to preserve texture and flavour precision. Reseal the bottle carefully after use and store upright, away from direct light and temperature fluctuations. Allow a few minutes of breathing in the glass before the first sip to let the aromatic expression find its balance.

Food pairings

• Aperitif : roasted almonds, lightly toasted hazelnuts, fine charcuterie for a subtle introduction.
• Cheeses : matured hard cheeses, whose texture and saltiness highlight the whisky’s controlled sweetness.
• Plates : roasted poultry with reduced jus, subtly spiced white meats that respect the aromatic finesse.
• Desserts : high‑cocoa dark chocolate, praline biscuits, caramelised notes echoing the roundness on the palate.
• Sweet‑savory moments : dried fruits and candied citrus, for a play of textures and scents in perfect balance.
