Product details
Crafted by a renowned Scottish producer celebrated for its commitment to innovative aging methods, this 7-year expression showcases a bold exploration of rare Hungarian oak sourced from the Zemplén forest. The trees in this region grow slowly due to volcanic soil, cool temperatures, and high elevation, resulting in exceptionally tight-grained wood prized for its ability to shape a refined and harmonious character. After initial maturation, the liquid is transferred into specially prepared Hungarian oak casks that are toasted and charred to a medium level, allowing the natural complexity and silky richness to deepen with time. The result is a limited and distinctive release that highlights craftsmanship, rarity, and forward-thinking creativity.
The aroma opens with generous bursts of butterscotch, citrus, and milk chocolate, followed by notes of cinnamon, raisins, and orchard fruits. On the palate, layers of heather honey and warming spice unfold, evolving into chocolate, lemon drops, and caramelized brown sugar. The texture is smooth and balanced, with each flavor transitioning seamlessly into the next. A refined choice for enthusiasts seeking something expressive, memorable, and shaped by an uncommon oak influence.
