Taster

Nose: Deep, intensely fruity. Peaches infused in a spicy syrup. With a lovely floral note in the back. Freesia. Oak is perfectly integrated. Dried apricots. Apple skin. Stem ginger.

Palate: Silky, smooth and sweet. The same fruity profile with marshmallows and\rpralines. Becomes slightly fizzy at mid palate. Ginger and white pepper.

Finish: Lingering, soothing on white chocolate and soft spices.

Comment: A real beauty!

Score: 8.8

Taster

Nose: Lifted yet mature. Aromatic: honeysuckle, chamomile tea, apple blossom, sandalwood. Lightly musky in time candied fruits and BBQ pineapple. More floral with water. Elegance personified.

Palate: A surprisingly slow start. Thick. Golden syrup/mead, then saffron. Sweet citrus, then moving into lily.

Finish: Medium length.

Comment: Superb balance and aromatic intensity. Exemplary old whisky.

Score: 9.2
