Nose

Tangy oranges where grass once grew.

Palate

A surge of spicy oak yields little to the malt.

Finish

Over roasted, almost bitter coffee but then softens for the highlight of the experience as the oak and mild liquorice offers a long, lingering and, at last, balanced, finale.

Comment

I think I remember a 25 year-old Cardhu of far better charm and balance.
