A narrow glass, a modest pour, and ten unhurried minutes before drinking — the floral register Dove composed for is volatile and rewards patience more than warmth. Skip water entirely on the first glass; at 48.3% the aromatics are already lifted, and dilution trades perfume for sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eProduction Methodology\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdition No. 3 was assembled nose-first. Roja Dove, a master perfumer, worked with Bob Dalgarno to select six cask styles of European and American oak — the smallest recipe in the series to that point — with each style chosen for its aromatic contribution rather than palate weight. The framing borrowed perfumery’s own structure: ethereal top notes over a vanilla, fruit and oak base. The whisky was bottled at 48.3% ABV at natural colour, no age statement, with the recipe disclosed on the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through Midnight Whiskey is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.
