Tasting Notes
Nose
On the nose, there are rich layers of treacle toffee from Cambus, caramelised apple and autumnal soft fruit from Pittyvaich, before waves of dark chocolate, plums and cherries slowly unfold. Notes of dark fruits from Royal Lochnagar and Cragganmore combine with pink peppercorn spice and sea salt.
Palate
On the palate, this whisky is full-bodied and rich. Initial layers of Talisker and Port Ellen’s warming maritime smoke combine with cocoa nibs, perfectly balanced by the berries and currants of Glendullan and Carsebridge.
Finish
Notes of caramelised apples, pears and maraschino cherries emerge with a lingering finish of pepper and demerara sugars.
