Nose A symphony of rich dried fruits with a background of hazelnut oil. The spicy scent of cloves, grass, and cinnamon invite and entice, like a Moroccan spice market.
Palate On the palate we begin by tasting bright grassy notes – a surprising freshness after the spicy nose. Then, quickly, the deep, rich sweetness of the aged grains takes hold and we are once more wrapped in a velvet cloak of smooth, scented cinnamon, hazelnuts, and a hint of figgy pudding.
Finish A soft, deep finish to linger over, this is a whisky full of surprise and delight. Aged grain whiskies are highly unusual, and this 50-year-old blended grain is a masterful showcase for the sweet and charming nature of such spirits.
