Taster

Nose: A sensuous dessert-like experience. Amaretto biscuits and apricot jam. Trifle with good custard and raspberry soaked sponge. High bourbon impact. Orange flavoured Turkish Delight.

Palate: The fruitiness doesn't follow to the palate, but an attractive dram with orange and grippy oak.

Finish: Dry leafiness.

Comment: A vibrant and enticing nose. Really good stuff though.

Score: 8.8
