Nose: Gorgeously rich, sweet malt, chocolate caramel Digestive biscuits, honeyed almonds, and cherry Madeira cake. More cooked stone fruits join soft chocolate ice cream.
Palate: It makes a royal entrance with huge helpings of juicy oak and sweet, roasted barley. Maple syrup, praline and pepper tangle while vanilla cream and poached plums joined by creamy notes of Caramac.
Finish: Malt and spice take hold, with tickles of nutmeg and crystalised ginger, slightly burnt biscuits, chocolate toffees, and robust oak.
