Nose: very lush and fruity with green apples, coconut, citrus, pineapple, with just a bit of woody tannin. Palate: More assertive with darker richer flavors like cocoa, cider, black pepper, allspice, a little roasty bitterness, and more of the wood. Finish: fairly short, and dominated by the drier notes. Comparable to Loch Lomond 12 but more grown up and complex.
