Tasting Notes
"A lovely, honeyed nose greets you, with custard, vanilla, malt, lemon zest, and toasted nuts. The taste is sweet and definitively Speyside: honey and vanilla, candied walnuts, fresh mown grass, and allspice. It gets a little citrus into the mix for a relatively short but pleasant finish. A solid, baseline Speyside malt that blends the deeper texture of old whisky with the bright, floral aspects of younger vintages. "
