The inaugural single malt whisky from the Helden Distillery - released as a pair along with a portion of cask strength bottles. Matured for 3 years in a first-fill 100-litre hybrid cask; the side staves are from a STR (Shaved, Toasted and Recharred) ex-red wine French oak cask, and the heads are made from American oak. This is the typical base cask being used by Helden for their single malt maturation. Only 126 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 50.9%. (Bottle size 500ml)
Nose: Exquisite and intricate layers of caramel, clove, anise, leather, dark chocolate, nuts and dried fruits, crafting a distinguished and captivating aromatic complexity.
Palate: A regal, full-bodied expression featuring initial sweetness, developing into a velvety creaminess and a nuanced complexity of savoury flavours, and a delicate trace of fruitiness.
Finish: A prolonged finish gracefully glides from wood notes to a luscious assortment of dried fruits, leaving an enduring sense of warmth and refinement.
