Tasting Notes
"An immediate prickle, the nose retreats if this whisky is taken too eagerly. If treated carefully, it opens to a deep vanilla into heavy dark-chocolate fudge. Sulfuric tones dance with the spices before candied flowers and toffee apples appear with a definite citrus tang and a hint of perfume. The tongue hits sour flowers and sweet citrus fruits with pineapple, marzipan, and sultanas rubbing against leather. The finish is long and viscous and moves into spiced custard and puckering, salty chocolate. "
