This is a great quality, easy to love, classic scotch. Wonderful nostalgic notes of Christmas and comforting warmth. Nothing is unpleasant and not a lot is outstanding. Just a rich delicious whisky with enough tannins to offset the ample sweet fruity experience. Nose: Christmas pudding The caramelised ends of baked dried fruit Rich vanilla pod Orange rind A little musty leather Arrival: Full sweet flavour Sherry sweet but refreshingly dry the leftover rum that you soak the dried fruit for a Christmas pudding Development: Tea (black) Oak Wood tannins Delicate baking spice Dark chocolate and Peppermint Finish: Nice and long Red Plumb seed Fresh Wood linger Chest warming but not hot A little clove numbing
