TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE : Rich amber, polished mahogany highlights.

BODY : Medium to full bodied.

NOSE : Fruity-floral at first - flowering currant, a hint of blackcurrant - with some ash or char in the background (scorched brown toast?) and after a while a trace of damp linen. Water brings up cereal notes (principally maize), and some meaty aromas. The development is towards scorched paper - fragile and no off-notes.

PALATE : Sweetness and crunchy nuts impress at first, then there’s a smooth, fruity Speyside richness to enjoy. Firm, with a balancing sweetness. Brown sugar and espresso coffee. Warming and pleasant. With water, still a pleasant texture. Light sweetness, then chewy and balanced by light acidity, with a good spread of flavours mid-palate.

FINISH : Medium to long, elegantly drying and crisp, completed by a pleasant, sweetly nutty chew-ability.
