Nose: Plum pudding and mince pies - this should definitely be served after a Christmas dinner! Spice grows in the shape of red chilli and charred oak, resulting in a good balance of savoury and sweet notes.
Palate: Very creamy. Quite thick with chewy Sherried malt, with plenty of raisins and sultanas, alongside a touch of white pepper. Becomes enjoyably oily on the mid-palate.
Finish: Wafts of sweet, juicy Sherry, and with a subtle hint of smoke too…
Overall: As mentioned above, this would make for an excellent Christmas whisky...
