Tasting Notes
"Jammy quince, plenty of vanilla and a touch of coconut shavings on the nose. Also a whiff of fresh strawberries and powdered sugar. Some faint herbal notes in the background and slightly perfume-y. An interestingly fruity arrival on the palate, mainly along the citrus variety, but also somewhat dry and fairly nutty. A fair spiciness in the background, mainly cloves and a pinch of cinnamon powder. This is very much a modern whisky paying homage to the early days of the distillery's existence."
