Nose

A charming mixture of mealy malt, almost exotic fruitiness and a hint of smoke.

Palate

Deliciously oily and sweet with an early arrival of gentle peat and gathering spices.

Finish

Outstanding: with soft coffee, toffee and cocoa clinging to the waxy oak and lingering spice.

Comment

Truly brilliant example of how an old malt should be: seriously big, full of complexity and minimum oak interference.
