Nose

Fruit and nut toffee, refresher sweets and a lemony sourness. Ginger and spices.

Palate

A burst of complex Oloroso wood and smoky notes, with ginger cake iced with lemon.

Finish

That fizzing rich woodiness lasts long after the maltiness passes.

Comment

Some older whiskies smell great but are world-weary on the palate. This is vibrant with a palate that matches or even exceeds its nose.
