Tasting Notes by GlassBottle

Nose: sweet butterscotch and all sorts of warm, comforting aromas - fruity, slightly floral, hazelnuts.

Palate: still sweet and well-sherried. More hazelnuts and vanilla, citrus and cinnamon spice start coming through. An autumnal feel to this dram with a hint of flavour that reminded me of freshly fallen leaves.

Body: smooth and velvety.

Finish: strong and surprisingly long lasting for what is quite a delicate whisky. An oaky edge that compliments the other flavours wonderfully.
