A uniquely tropical whisky offering from French producer Aikan! This single malt was distilled in Lorraine, France, before being shipped to the French island of Martinique for a tropical maturation. Entirely aged in the tropical climate before bottling, including a portion in rum barrels, this is a splendid opportunity to explore the effects of ageing malt whisky in a different climate.
Sugared citrus peels and runny, floral honey lead, with soft stone fruits leading to more tropical notes of mango, charred pineapple, and robust barley.
Rich cocoa notes join on the palate, alongside silky vanilla and warm, spiced caramel. There are more of those tropical notes, with pineapple turnover and a sprinkling of nutmeg.
Drying oak wraps things up, with biscuity malt, a dusting of cinnamon, candied, chocolate-dipped orange wheels, and hearty fruit sweetness.
