Nose

An unusual nose of surgical gloves or natural latex and cigar boxes that then shifts to powdered almond, macaroons, and Scottish tablet.

Palate

Sweet and full bodied, with clove, pink peppercorn sauce, clootie dumpling, and dried cranberry. Rum-raisin ice cream, too.

Finish

After the initial demerara sweetness, the whisky becomes pleasantly tart, like a rhubarb and gooseberry tart with spices.

Comment

Robust aromas and hearty flavours mean this is a whisky with a lot of personality.
