Nose

Wonderfully fresh and aromatic with sweet cherries in syrup, clove and toasty oak. Hints of barley and oxidised cognac-like fruit, chalk and honey follow.

Palate

Full and robust with upfront oxidised dried fruit, barley and a light syrup note. Mineral and chalky with subtle toasty oak, cinnamon and clove.

Finish

Long and really smooth with lingering oxidised fruit, drying oak and coffee.

Comment

Distinctly different and proving once again that great whisky-making isn’t just the preserve of the Scottish.
