Nose
Buttercups, grass, currants and Turkish Delight. Metal and bubblebath notes became more apparent with water.
Palate
Christmas cake, with raisins and glacé cherries.
Finish
A light meatiness, like baked gammon.
Comment
Bags of cask character, and fine if you find finishes fun.

Nose
Quite sweet. Barley sugar, then sultana/fruit loaf, hay, spices being sauteed in butter, crisp oak.
Palate
Medium-bodied and fairly intense, high concentration of sweet fruits, yet slightly firmer than you expect from the nose. Well balanced.
Finish
Fine length. Dried peels/fruits. Tingling.
Comment
Well balanced and with more weight and substance than you might normally expect from this distillery. A good dram.
