Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: bright, fruity and honeyed; waxy, antique-y, honeycomb and creamy; clotted cream, Maroccan marmalade, fresh goat cheese with lemon slices; Turkish delight.
Palate: soft, creamy and floral; toasty and creamy with more honeycomb, clotted cream and fresh goat cheese with lemon wedges; candied ginger, citrus wedges, white orchard fruits and dried apricots; very waxy, a touch of white pepper and old school ex-Bourbon.
Finish: long, creamy, toasty and floral; waxy and coating; fresh orchard fruits.
Comment: this is an eminently drinkable whisky, reminds me a lot of Littlemill; fresh, floral, fruity and creamy; no hint of the advancing bitter oak you often see in a whisky of this age!
