Nose

That’s an odd nose! Very perfumed white fruit, rose petals, raspberry mousse and celery. Even the oak has a perfumed sheen but with water a little edgy barley note appears.

Palate

Very sweet and plenty of barley. Heavy on the perfumed rose petals, raspberries in syrup and vanilla oak. The alcohol is sort of keeping it in check and when diluted it becomes too sweet.

Finish

Medium length with peppery rose petal notes lingering. Water brings out the bitter oak.

It’s Auchentoshan on steroids!
