Nose Apple and pears, with almonds, oaty cereal notes, cinnamon, and marzipan-like pastry.
Palate Very smooth texture, mmmmm, vanilla, almonds, custard, with just a twist of black pepper and baking spices.
Finish Vanilla, custard, a touch of wood tannin, and woody spice.
Overall Gorgeous textbook old grain. Nothing wacky going on here. Just lovely old whisky.
