Herbal with a dry,twiggy,nuttiness though there's some sweetness behind which emerges in time. Sensual and weighty with stewed fruit,black butter and a touch of sandalwood.
Palate
Quite fat and maybe just lacking in grip.Dried flower,violet. Rich dried fruits.Doesn't like water.
Finish
Ripe and rich. Balanced
Comment
Just a little too fat for me,though a little unfair to slip two blends among all of these malts!
