Nose: Honey and tropical fruits rise delightfully. Lemon dominates with peaches and apricot on the background. Drop of water joins delicate aromas of oak, vanilla and nuts.
Taste: Sweet oak and honey start the show. There is a sherry feel but it's delicate. A great combination of spices and sugary fruits develop with time. Rich and complex.
Finish: Malted barley with wee oil and some earthly touch. Also bitter notes. Smooth and long finish.
Balance: Magnificent whisky with great complexity. Smooth and versatile dram with character. Subtle aromas and great taste. Has to be one of the best 10YOs out there.
