Nose

This one draws me in immediately: warm pineapple, grainy pears, maple syrup, and some red fruits — perhaps raspberry. It’s vibrant and enticing.

Palate

Nice gentle, rounded sweetness here. Those red fruits really come to the fore, now strawberry and redcurrant alongside the raspberry. A subtle earthiness and some toffee-covered apples, too.

Finish

Long and enduring, with great fruit and spice across the whole palate.

Comment

A luscious and frankly delicious whisky — the right balance of alcohol heat alongside the sweetness.
