Nose
Fine and clean and slightly oily. Intense. Bitter orange peel,rose, cranberry. Exotic spices and fragrant pepper. Black fruits and raisin.
Palate
Good grip with great acidity allowing the oils to flow naturally. Becomes increasingly spicy as it moves More austere than you imagine from the nose. Good bite with a rumble of peat.
Finish
Mix of dried fruit and citrus zest.
Comment
Intense and packs a considerable punch.

Nose
Rich,fragrant. An intriguing mix of floral and fruity notes. An orchard after a summer rain. Pear blossom. Sandalwood, Hint of cardamom. Opens up on pepper. More fruit with water. Raspberry.
Palate
Lively. Gently flowing and thickening on the tongue. Oak is well integrated.
Finish
Not very long but compressed. Soothing on sweet almond notes.
Comment
A rich and complex dram. Allow it enough time for it to unwind its richness and you'll be delighted.
