Nose
Delicate, sweet short crust pastry. Marzipan and raspberry jam. Raisins.
Palate
Oily, vaguely fruity, honeyed. Faintly herbal.
Finish
More like a desert wine than a whisky. Rich, creamy and filling.
Comment
Visually, a very attractive whisky – rich amber and gloriously viscous. If my suspicions are correct, an earlier expression of this whisky reminded me of a Peshwari Nan. Must be shared and discussed with friends.

Nose
Honey porridge, coconut and a savoury, clove-like spice. Fresh orange: zest and pithy.
Palate
Raisiny, slightly spicy with lots of vanilla.
Finish
Citric and lightly bitter.
Comment
Pleasing, bright, and easy-going. A good gift whisky, but not one for the new breed of crusading Whisky Adventurer.
