Nose Moss, earth and antique oak aromas balance lively sweet notes of cola cubes, orange soda and cinnamon gum. More succulent elements from warm buttery popcorn, golden cereals and Galaxy Honeycomb Crisp round things off, along with a sprig of mint leaf.
Palate Apricot yoghurt, creamy vanilla and a hint of butterscotch are tempered by prickles of ginger spice. Sandalwood and bitter herbs form the backdrop.
Finish Nuttier tones emerge in a lengthy, malty finish.
Overall Plenty of welcome distillery character and a couple of pleasant surprises makes this a winner.
