Nose

Obviously mature: a lovely, dense, mix of light leather - a cobbler's store - dried apple and sage. Bold yet somehow subtle.

Palate

Robust and much earthier than the nose. Next comes a heavy floral note and a hint of smokiness. It builds towards the finish deepening all the time.

Finish

Light lavender notes and some smoke.

Comment

A fascinating, fluxing dram that hides its power under a charming exterior.
