Tasting Notes
Arbikie Highland Rye Artist Edition No.1 is a true masterpiece, a harmonious blend of art and craft. The nose greets you with a symphony of toasted hazelnuts and the sweetness of crisp cider apples, enveloped in the warmth of oaken vanilla and a gentle touch of tobacco. As you sip, the palate unveils a delightful array of flavors: apple turnover's flaky crust mingles with peppery rye spice, while buttered seeded bread adds a comforting richness. Creamy custard and biscuity malt notes linger, creating a delightfully indulgent experience. The finish is a lingering embrace of warming spices, ginger's zesty kick, leathery oak, and the subtle sweetness of dried apples. This limited release is a true celebration of Scottish artistry, from the magnificent rye and wheat used in the mashbill to the design work of Francis Boag adorning the bottle.
