Colour is well brewed black tea but with no frills and with some pale orange/red shade. The nose is sharp but not spiritous at all, it’s heavily spiced with many fruity and flowery notes. Might be described as a sour fresh berry tyrolean pie. Traditionally some vanilla, butterscotch and even banana. This will sound absolutely nonsense but I definitely feel the vibe of some threadbare dusty commode. The taste is boisterous in spice again, some varnish (like in Auchentoshan), wood, tobacco, lemongrass dominating on a palate, also some fruity/vanilla and butterscotch sweet. And something like a “iodine brown sugar syrup”. Finish is watery sweet with some dry and bitter notes, some citrus zest; lasts fairly long. In overall it might be described as a more spiced typical middle-aged highlander. Or as an unpeated version of Inchmoan 12 what is probably an absolute true.
