Nose: Wafts of sourdough, with sweet, creamy barley lead the way to buttery oak and cask char. Delicately floral stone fruits and earthen vanilla balance a touch of pepper.
Palate: The creaminess continues on the palate with sweet shortbread, apple tart, and vanilla custard. Fresher notes of pressed apple, biscuity malt, and baked goods linger, with underlying hints of vegetal oak.
Finish: Sugar dusted pastry, almond, raisin, and yet more vanilla. Butterscotch softens a pinch of nutmeg and herbal, peppery spice.
