Nose

Full, fat and fabulously fruity. Slightly unripe pears mingle deliciously with oak and custard.

Palate

Busy arrival on palate: early oak-induced spice tempered by a big demerara-sweet middle.

Finish

Pretty long with that intense barley lingering on with a tinge of oak and molassed raisins.

Comment

The most stylish, complex and hearty of drams which only underlines the tragedy in the demise of this fine distillery.
