Tasting Notes

• Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

  • Nose

    Baked apples with raisins and red-wine-poached pears. Toasted peel-studded fruit loaf and squidgy malt loaf develop along with blanched hazelnuts and almonds. Hints of pine float around the edges, joined by fruity dark chocolate.

  • Palate

    Rich, thick and oily texture. Milk chocolate and raisins with a stewed apple and cinnamon background. Singed fruit cake and cinder toffee build, with caramel sauce and liquorice leading to gingerbread men.

  • Finish

    Chocolate raisins, mint and spicy speculaas biscuits.

  • Comment

    Rich and dark sherry with a layer of fresh fruit on top and laced with caramel sauce. A great end of evening dram – perfect tumbler material.
