Wee Highland Panettone
The Wee Highland Panettone
Infused with Scottish Highland Single Malt Whisky, Plump Sultanas, and Zesty Citrus
Indulge in a breathtaking fusion of Italian artisanal baking mastery and the rugged, soulful warmth of the Scottish Highlands. The Wee Highland Panettone is an extraordinary labor of love, built upon a meticulous multi-day fermentation process that nurtures a delicate, cloud-like texture.
Every bite tells a story of craftsmanship—born from a stiff natural leaven allowed to mature slowly over four days, building deep aromatic complexity, buttery richness, and an ethereal, melt-in-the-mouth crumb.
Key Highlights & Tasting Notes
The Highland Infusion: At the heart of this masterpiece are premium sultanas bathed to plump, juicy perfection in a robust, smoky-sweet Scottish Highland Single Malt Whisky, imparting a subtle, warming amber depth that lingers gracefully on the palate.
Vibrant Citrus Zests: Hand-selected, sun-kissed lemon and orange zests, sweet honey, and fragrant vanilla pod are folded into the dough, cutting through the rich butteriness with bright, refreshing notes.
The Macaronade Finish: Topped with a crisp, nutty almond macaronade crust and a light dusting of icing sugar that bakes into a delicate, sweet crunch.
The Texture: Impossibly light, feathery, and golden-yellow from rich free-range egg yolks, offering a decadent yet airy mouthfeel.
