Nose

Slightly earthy tones of cinnamon and musk, with a touch of royal jelly and over ripe plums.

Palate

Subtle with layers of honey, spices and a hint of red chilli. Black cherries, again but this time framed with some lovely oaky tones which give a richness and depth. Very drinkable.

Finish

A big whack of real vanilla (pods) and the big oak which suggests this isn’t a shy and retiring dram, but one with some robustness to it.

Comment

Bigger than the last dram and more balanced, to boot.
