Like biting into slightly fatty short pastry dusted with icing sugar. Inside is a dense, firmly chewy, filling of dark dried fruits. A Mediterranean counterpart to a Scottish black bun.
Finish
Dark spices, especially anise.
Comment
I had not realised Glen Moray could be so sensuous.
Grass, green pear, nuts. In time becomes very creamy: milkshake/boiling milk. Malty.
Palate
Sweet fresh and floral (florist shop). Touch of honey. Nut loops. Gentle.
Finish
Honeyed.
Comment
Very fresh and attractive. Drink with cornflakes at breakfast.
