Nose
Perfumey. Passion fruit. Nutty. Marzipan.
Palate
Rich. Complex. Honeyed, creamy, winey, aniseed, almonds.
Finish
Long, cedary, dryish. A wonderful digestif.
Comment
The full, honeyed, richness of the malt combines beautifully with what seems to be a generous kiss of port.

Doug McIvor

An extremely graceful and charmingly feminine dram.
