Peaches and cream on the nose immediately, with an alcohol burn carrying rich cocoa powder; the aroma doesn't leave anything wanting. On the palate I find honey nut breakfast cereal, banana walnut bread; there's a strong minerality at the base and mid-palate offerings include astringency and an array of spices like pepper, mustard seed, and allspice. Crisp, mineral mouthfeel and a sweet, abiding finish of stewed fruit. A malt with superb Highland character that comes full circle.
