700 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: All sweet frangipane and buttery pastry up front, this dram has the nose of a beautifully flaky almond croissant. Rose water spritzes through the air, balancing the creamy sweetness with fresh floral notes. A heavier, earthier note - like wood after it rains- appears as a base note, but never overpowers.
Palate: The palate begins as soft, chewy caramels that open up to the white flesh of summertime peaches and wood spice. The buttery pastry on the nose has become more dense, like oat biscuits, on the palate.
Finish: This is a weighty dram, and finishes like milk chocolate melting in your mouth. Rose water reappears as final touch
