Nose A touch of menthol. Classic Sherry notes, less pronounced than the 15 year old perhaps, but the complexity is greater.
Palate Incredibly clean central palate, but amazingly tangy. Really zingy top notes. Sherry and creamy barley, hints of gingerbread and nutty chocolate.
Finish Very, very long and complex finish, oak-rich, hints of smoke, cocoa, buttery...
Overall One of our all-time favourite Speyside malts.
