Tasting Notes
The following summarises the producer's published tasting description, also reproduced by Japanese retailer Shinanoya.
- Nose: The producer does not publish a separate aroma breakdown for this release.
- Palate: Orange-like bitterness meets peat, balanced by a confectionery sweetness. Smoke supports the whisky's depth without dominating.
- Finish: Lingering sweetness and bitterness recall dark chocolate.
A Ptarmigan from the Southern Alps
Fauna 2025 was announced in March 2025 for release that May as the second Dessin Series single malt. Its bird illustration depicts the rock ptarmigan, known in Japan as raicho. The animal motif connects this peated Fauna expression to the Southern Alps landscape around Ikawa.
The wider Dessin project presents stages in the distillery's development towards a planned 12-year-old whisky. Flora uses plant motifs for its unpeated expressions, while Fauna pairs animal subjects with peat. That future ambition is not an age statement for this bottle.
