Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Musky herbal notes lead, with incense and leafy thyme joined by a touch of rosemary and curry leaf. Brown sugar and caramel notes develop along with floral and herbal honeys, freshly sawn fragrant oak and hints of Japanese cedar. Fruity notes of sweet plum, peach, baked apple and ripe pear build.
Palate
Apples and sour plums to start, with pears, pineapple, unripe mango and fresh apricots to follow. Spiced toffee and milk chocolate hide underneath, along with gentle incense notes. Light fruit cake and raisins build, along with wax polish and oaky spice.
Finish
Fresh and aromatic oak notes linger, joined by orchard fruit, oatcakes, and blackcurrant jam and leaves.
Dawn Davies, Buying Director
Nose
Apple, wood spices, leather, candied peach and orange blossom.
