Tasting Notes
"The nose begins dry, spicy and oaky, but a buttery, creamy profile emerges, backed by light baking spices and vanilla, and lurking floral and fruity aromas. There's a light smokiness on the palate, and more of that buttery-creamy profile, with tropical fruit, caramel, oak and malt. Finish is dry and spicy, with a bit more smoke, and traces of the defining custardy, buttery backbone of this dram. The gem amongst gems from the exclusive 1970s Collection. "
