Nose

Cigar box notes of cedar and tobacco, soy sauce, and black treacle tart. Raisins and dried figs. Some earthy, leaf mulch-y notes. Stewed pears, apples and plums.

Palate

Light. Stewed orchard fruits with lots of Muscovado sugar and a glug of cream sherry. Honey-glazed almonds and peanuts with smoked paprika and salt.

Finish

Medium, with lingering nuttiness.

Comment

The kind of whisky that will work in all situations: sipping, highball, Old Fashioned... It just works.
