Tasting Notes
"The nose offers honey, hay and grass, melons and pear, and the floral notes of chrysanthemum bud. The palate is mellow, somewhat oily, with a Highlands malt profile overall. Also find sherry and nutty notes in the background interlaced with spicy oak, cloves and a touch of black pepper. Finish starts soft but then opens up bigger and sticks around. Let the dram breathe for a few moments to showcase more of its sherry characteristics. Enjoyable and smooth but unspectacular."
