Nose

Mature, elegant and complex. Rancio, mulch, toasty wood, hazelnut, mango, black cherry, clootie dumpling, light smoke.

Palate

Fragrant but pretty firm. Needs water to soften the oak and reveal peach, chestnut honey, dried fruit and a hint of smoke. Balanced.

Finish

Cocoa, beech nut. Cognac like.

Comment

A classic from one of Speyside's forgotten greats.
