Nose

Big, creamy and sweet. Plenty of fruit, cocoa, butterscotch, honey and oak. Complex.

Palate

Medium weight but mouthfilling with a punchy, rich middle palate. Sweet, ripe toffee fruits: sultana cake, cinnamon, apple, butterscotch, spicy. Real drive.

Finish

Long, complex, sweet.

Comment

An elegant, sophisticated malt. On this evidence, a real loss to the industry.
