Tasting Notes
"The nose is sugary sweet, think cotton candy as well as honey, but with a touch of lemon zest thrown in. Touches of stewed pears, followed by peaches. Finally a thin layer of ozone. It has a proper oily mouthfeel, with just a slight hint of peat smoke, but also honey, and lemon pudding. There's a whiff of nutmeg here as well, and some sweet barley. Pretty complex and very agreeable, there's some skillful blending going on here."
