Nose
A subtle suggestion of soft liquorice, as in Pontefract cakes.
Palate
Light, soft, syrupy. The liquorice more emphatic now. Spanish root. Develops juicy, mouth-watering flavours. Aniseed. Coconut.
Finish
Soothing, relaxing.
Comment
A whisky for a reverie. Daydream of childhood and the local sweet-shop.

Nose
Sweet spices with toffee, banana, cream, dried pear and fruit cake (sultana, raisin and cherry). Complex and delicious.
Palate
The spiciness comes right through from the start giving a subtle lift to the rich fruits, light sherry and ginger loaf.
Finish
Long and soft.
Comment
A very elegant, superbly balanced middle-weight dram.
