50ml mlEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Pralines and beer nuts, Caramilk bars, apple chips, dried apricots, oatmeal with brown sugar, shortbread with cinnamon sugar topping, and a touch of Tawny Port.
Palate: Big rich sherry notes, though it doesn’t go into full maple syrup mode like some PX finishes seem to. Very starchy and nutty with more praline notes. More of an Oh Henry bar note on the palate. Sponge toffee and Coffee Crisp notes in there as well as some dates and dried mango.
Finish: Long, nutty and just a touch drying with a hint of amaro-like bitterness.
Comment: This is a wonderfully decadent single malt with plenty of chocolate, toffee and nut notes. Somehow it manages to be rich without being cloying which is impressive. I want another dram of this already, and my glass isn’t even emptied yet.
