Nose

Light sugar water and some waxy crayons to start. A touch of gentle smoke then some Crunchie bars and baked apples.

Palate

Surprisingly fruity and full — more so than I was expecting from the nose. Some tropical fruit notes — I got mangosteens and passion fruit — alongside yoghurt and honey. Excellent texture. A touch of basketball rubberiness as the palate moves on, alongside just a touch of smoke.

Finish

Fairly lengthy, with residual spice.

Comment

A complex and intriguing whisky with some beautiful texture.
