A long, warming and full bodied finish.

Tasting Notes by Billy A
-
Nose
Waxy and fruity - tinned pineapple, floral touches, Refresher chews, furniture polish, honeycomb, sultana, vanilla and some icing sugar sweetness.
-
Palate
Soft to start, with custard tarts and nutmeg, becoming slightly sharper with some apple and cinnamon. Softens again to more pastry and a touch of fudge.
-
Finish
Green and leafy, with vanilla, soft caramel and some lingering apple notes.
-
Comment
A beautifully sweet and soft whisky, with great pastry notes and a tasty touch of the tropical.
