Nose
Toffeish. Candied orange. Heather. Delectable fruitiness (pears and apricots).
Palate
Velvety, smooth. Full, custardy. Pudding-like.
Finish
Delicately lingering, rolling out with toasted malt notes.
Comment
Good introduction to Speyside’s generosity. Especially if served with a crème brûlée.

Nose
Scented, lifted, estery with some coconut matting, vanilla, with hints of citrus. Water brings out a lovely floral edge (lily/freesia), some orange and poached pear.
Palate
Though subtle it has good weight and a great balance between honey, cream and dry nuttiness.
Finish
A tickly cough of smoke.
Comment
Very attractive, approachable and charming.
