Tasting Notes
Nose
Very aromatic, with heady notes of tropical fruit bursting out of the glass. Plenty of juicy candied fruit, mango and coconut.
Palate
The rich tropical fruit continues on to the palate, along with caramel, toffee and vanilla from the cask. Very fruity and accessible.
Finish
The fruitiness combines beautifully with the toasty oak notes.
Comment
A fascinating whisky; one of the fruitiest you’ll find.
