Nose
Sweet and slightly malty. Wheat chaff, green oak, banana skin, boiled sweets. Good nutty concentration and a hint of dried grass. Palate
Light honey and macadamia nut and a hint of barley sugar. The middle is little lacking in power. Finish
Light malt. Comment
A gentle and sweet farewell to one of the gentlest and sweetest men in the industry. Farewell Gordon, we’ll miss you.

Nose
Perfumy. Citrussy. Lime and citron (cédrat). Touch of orange blossom. Delicate and intriguing. Opens up on sweet orange marmalade. Palate
Rich, deep. Coating. Releases a full basket of fruit : the citrus fruit captured on the nose and also exotic fruit wrapped in a fresh minty mist. Finish
Everlasting. Sensuous. Delicately spicy. Comment
Takes you on a wonderful sensory journey. Like walking on an orange orchard.
