Flavour Profile

Citrus, orchard fruits (apple, pear), stone fruits (peach, apricot), berries, and tropical notes. Can range from subtle hints to dominant fruitiness.
Cereal grains, biscuit, bread, toast, and nutty flavours from malted barley. The foundational character of the whiskey.
Sea salt, brine, seaweed, and coastal influences. Often associated with island whiskies and those aged near the ocean.
Earthy, stony, chalk, slate, and mineral-like qualities. Often found in whiskies with distinctive terroir or specific water sources.
Viscous, oily mouthfeel and texture. Waxy, lanolin, and rich coating qualities that affect the palate weight and finish.
Peat smoke, bonfire, ash, tar, and medicinal phenolic notes. Ranges from subtle wisps to intense smokehouse character.
Pepper, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove, and warming spice notes. Often intensified by higher alcohol content or specific cask types.
Honey, vanilla, caramel, toffee, butterscotch, and general sweetness. Often derived from cask influence and natural sugars.
Oak, barrel char, sawdust, cedar, and woody tannins. Structural backbone contributed by cask maturation and aging.
