Nose
Fragrant. Cedary. Honeyed. Seductive.
Palate
Soft, rich, tongue-coating. Clean, sweet. A hint of Seville orange. Intense heather-honey. Cereal-grain. Crunchy.
Finish
Gently drying. Shortbread.
Comment
A lovely example of a honeyish Speyside whisky.

Nose
Mature, elegant and complex. Rancio, mulch, toasty wood, hazelnut, mango, black cherry, clootie dumpling, light smoke.
Palate
Fragrant but pretty firm. Needs water to soften the oak and reveal peach, chestnut honey, dried fruit and a hint of smoke. Balanced.
Finish
Cocoa, beech nut. Cognac like.
Comment
A classic from one of Speyside's forgotten greats.
