Taster

Nose: Opens with sawdusty, mature oak, luscious honey and tropical apricot, melon and kumquat. Lightly phenolic and medicinal notes begin to dominate a little but it’s still a sensational nose!

Palate: Sweet and honeyed with juicy barley and citrus. Not as mature as the nose but you can’t fault its succulent character. A sliver of smoke and gentle grain complete the picture. \n

Finish: Long and moist with a lovely, taught citrus and botanical grain finish. Lingering soft, sweet spices. \n

Comment: Proof that blends are not inferior to single malts!
