Nose Chocolate chip cookies, honeyed barley, raisins and dried apricot, hickory, pecan and peppercorn.
Palate Marmalade on granary toast, cherries and almonds, malty chocolate, a very light whiff of baked earth and a drop of maple syrup.
Finish Sherry-soaked fruit, gingerbread and woody spices.
Overall The weighty sherried elements stand out brilliantly, imparting further complexity and boldness to the whisky's profile.
