Tasting Notes
Nose
Aromas of ripe fruit—toasted banana, pear and apricot—rise with delicate florals, a hint of licorice and marshmallow, and a restrained touch of peat.
Palate
Cinnamon and allspice, moving into ripened plum. Cashew and nuts in the background. Thick on the tongue, it heats up towards the end with some nice vanilla cookies.
Finish
Peat smoke fills the mouth as the last of the whisky begins to clear out. Coastal ans subtlly minty at the end.
