Nose

Rich and mellow. Honey, toffee, sultana alongside walnut, nutmeg and dry, biscuity malt. Succulent and spicy, gentle yet complex.

Palate

Very sweet to start but immediately balanced by ginger and nutmeg spiciness, soft fruit (apricot, banana) and dried fruit (date). Superb balance.

Finish

Soft, tobacco.

Comment

Rounded and elegant, this is one hell of a dram from a hell of a manager.
