Nose

Robust, autumnal: raked leaves and toasted chestnut. Some dried pear and a syrupy sweetness. Water brings bran flakes then peanut.

Palate

Soft, slow and slightly creamy. Picks up from mid palate onwards. Silky and deep.

Finish

Great length.

Comment

Very well balanced and with immediate appeal, exactly what you want from a vatted malt.
