Nose The nose is fresh and sweet, with apricot conserve on granary toast and acacia honey. Green tobacco leaves and a little damp grass provide a vegetal backdrop. A hint of wood polish lingers among milk buttery brioche, while a note of peaches in cream and crystallised ginger complement throughout.
Palate It’s drying on the palate, as white pepper crackles through golden barley and juicy nectarines. Subtle heather toffees add complex sweetness against oily walnuts, while white grape and a little sour raspberry linger. Oak spice fizzes away underneath.
Finish Softening slightly after a time, there’s lingering note of pineapple and a little clam juice.
Overall An ever-evolving whisky with tonnes of character – enjoy it neat or with a little water and just wait for it to do it's work.
