Taster
Nose: Floral to start (freesia, stock) with light vanilla notes and a hint of pine. In time a drift of peat smoke, cashew, gingerbread and clover honey.
Palate: Soft to start then butterscotch, spices. Excellent breadth. Oak in balance. Silky.
Finish: Light oak, orange peel.
Comment: Young, but what a well poised session dram this is.
Score: 8.5
