Expert Review

It is very nice and we would not hesitate to recommend it for a whisky beginner or keen enthusiast. Nose: Oily, waxy and nutty, balanced by ripe orchard fruits. Notes of almond fruit cake on denser Christmas pudding, with cereal and orange behind. Body: Medium to rich. Good viscosity. Palate: The comforting chewiness of rich fruit-bread, hints of orange zest and clove, growing drier, still minty, with crisp green apple. Finish: In a word, long. Quite syrupy at first, then drying, with elegant coating tannins rich in dark chocolate character.
