Tasting Notes
"The whisky opens with an artificial sweetness of raspberry drop lollies, red jelly, sweet vanilla and homemade Turkish delight. This is balanced by the natural sweetness of stone fruit, lightly toasted in the oven. The palate continues on this note of oven-roasted fruit. The finish is lengthy with toasted sugar and red fruits. Though not super complex, this would make an excellent dessert whisky especially served with a cheese course."
