Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: A delicate sweetness with a Chantilly cream edge, vanilla custard.

Palate: The sweetness continues, more toffee now with a milk chocolate edge.A little soft fruit too.

Finish: Smooth and coating but with a refreshing quality.

Comment: Very restorative dram and the sweetness does not take over the other elements.

Score: 7.9
