Nose: The nose is rich in pot still elements and filled with dark, antique oak which Melting butter and soft toffee pennies slowly build over. Prickles of subtle sherry spice emerge among a slight grassiness, plum compote and a touch of bitter herbs.
Palate: A thick, gooey blend of Galaxy Caramel, treacle and butterscotch retain a deep and luscious sweetness against more oak and a hint of leather. Bramble berries and black cherry rolling tobacco add depth among drying coriander spice.
Finish: The oak influence remains among rich vanilla pod earthiness and a hint of strawberry jam in a long, composed finish.
Overall: Absolutely first class. This dram will not disappoint.
