Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

• Nose

  Apples, oranges and freshly polished leather shoes. A curl of smoke winds out of the glass, followed by chocolate, earthy forest floors and a touch of gummi bear fruitiness. Hints of farmyard and gravel sit behind, along with black pepper and strawberries.

• Palate

  Apple and banana covered with a thick layer of rich peat smoke and a sprinkling of barrel char. Milk chocolate and cocoa nibs poke through the smoke, along with dried mango, sultanas and a handful of dates. Gentle peppery spice – white pepper and cinnamon – builds, with a touch of orange and lemon jelly.

• Finish

  Cocoa nibs and leather slowly fade to reveal toffee apples and light fruitcake.
