Nose: Toffee, honeycomb, floral notes, dark chocolate-coated ginger biscuits. With time, fresh citrus notes emerge along with raspberry and sweet spices, Elegant and refined with that ‘old book’ quality.
Palate: Full-on cinnamon spice and orange peel with a wash of herbal menthol. Then the honeycomb comes through. Once the zest of the citrus spice resides, there’s a creamy vanilla mouthfeel.
Finish: Long and vibrant, but with considerable style.
Overall: An elegant older whisky with a devilishly lively side.
