Nose

A freshly felled Christmas tree. A new exercise book. Freshly polished shoes. A heap of turmeric, all lifted by some candied bergamot peel, sweet peas and Refresher bars.

Palate

A dollop of clotted cream with toffee cake, sprinkled with nutmeg and cut through with a slightly tarnished silver cake slice. More pine needles on the palate, alongside a rosewater florality.

Finish

Spicy, with tingly, drying black pepper and more of that nutmeg carrying through.

Comment

Well balanced. A solid workhorse of a whiskey.
