Tasting Notes

Nose

Ripe, very sweet and long. Toasted/polished oak, light resin notes, nutmeg.

Palate

Still sweet: a soft start, vanilla custard, a hint of dried fruit, baked banana, cinnamon, vanilla. Honeyed centre. Toasted, indeed roasted, wood gives much needed grip.

Finish

Membrillo.

Comment

Exuberant, sweet and extremely well balanced. A great introduction to whisky.
