Tasting notes from Billy Abbott (The Whisky Exchange)

• Nose

  Crunchy apples and pears with pear drops and fizzy apple sweets. Hints of vanilla peek out around the edges, along with sweet biscuit notes and a handful of plump sultanas.

• Palate

  Sweet and sour apples are wrapped around a core of buttery biscuit. More of the sultanas from the nose develop along with a sprinkling of soft spice. Darker notes of caramel and cinder toffee sit underneath – tarte tatin with a topping of zesty fruit.

• Finish

  Fruit quickly disappears, leaving oaky spice, more biscuits and a touch of raisin.
