Single Malt Whisky 70cl - Apex Cognac Cask Batch # 22 - Astucciato - M&H Distillery

In the glass this Single Malt from M&H Distillery, presented in the Apex Cognac Cask Batch #22 expression, shows a soft, well-defined personality. Maturation in ex-Cognac casks lends the aromatic profile rich notes of dried and yellow-fleshed fruit — apricot and quince — accompanied by honey, vanilla and a subtle cedarwood note. The palate is enveloping yet measured: the structure is full without being heavy, freshness balances the softness and the sensation is clean, with a delicate tannic spine supporting the body.

On tasting you appreciate its drinkability: the entry is warm but controlled, the mid-palate confirms a silky texture and fruity echoes that evolve into sweet spices and a hint of dried citrus. The finish remains on toasted notes with a pleasant persistence. Serve at room temperature in a tulip glass, ideal for contemplative sipping or paired with dark chocolate, aged cheeses or a dry pastry; the boxed presentation also makes it an elegant gift.
