NOSE Raspberry taffy, waxy vanilla, raisins, cinnamon, toasted malt, nuts, and a touch of leather and freeze-dried blueberries. Dark and lovely, the aroma is definitely my favorite part of this whisky. PALATE Raspberry taffy, waxy vanilla, citrus zest, raisins, roasted nuts, leather, cinnamon, malt and touches of copper and oak. Dark and brooding with pastry-sweet highlights, it’s almost as fun as the aroma, but hits more on the sweet side. FINISH Med-long -> Dark fruit, waxy vanilla, copper and touch of oak and nuts on a dryly sweet fade.
