Tasting Notes
Nose
Fruity and spicy, with plenty of sweet spice, refreshing lemon notes and an appealing nuttiness.
Palate
Rich and full flavoured. A hefty whack of spice – cinnamon and clove – at first, then joined by notes of dark chocolate and roasted nuts, then a touch of orange lightens the feeling.
Finish
Perfectly balanced between the fresh citrus, heady spices and toasty oak.
Comment
A wonderful whisky that combines fruit, spice and oak to great effect.
