Nose

Complex. Starts with bung cloth and concentrated fruits; then cereal, a hint of smoke, and floral notes (Cognac) citrus, pine wood, light chocolate, freshly charred wood, orange zest.

Palate

Intense. The oak has grip but sufficient caramelised flavours to carry.

Finish

Long, tingling, elegant.

Comment

A classic complex mature whisky where the wood has not taken over.
