Taster

Nose: Intense. Fruit and toffee. Distant smoke which slowly shows through. And shifts to sweet grassy notes.

Palate: Sweet and round. Ripe fruit wrapped in a thin veil of smoke. Juicy William pears poached in spices.

Finish: Dry, quite short. Fades away quickly.

Comment: A pleasant dram. On the fruit side.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: The oak fades to warmed oranges, melted sugar, toffee cream, a hint of smoke and sweet hay.

Palate: Big and sweet. The citrus and soft fruits come through wrapped with spice. The hint of smoke still lingers.

Finish: Short and sweet.

Comment: A great daily dram, something warming to come home to.

Score: 8.2
