Nose

Buttery toffee and oranges, then some strawberry foams and a touch of banana. Really enticing.

Palate

Full and spicier than expected from the nose with lots of fruitiness — again, strawberry and maybe some roasted pineapple alongside vanilla pods and toffee — and then lashings of black peppercorns.

Finish

Medium length with a toasty oakiness that sticks around.

Comment

A well-rounded whisky that I’d happily pour for family and friends.
