Nose: Punchy sweet oak and fresh vanilla pods, mingled with toasted coconut and flaked almonds. Notes of lemon zest and poached, spiced pears emerge with time.
Palate: A wonderful balance of Speyside fruit and oak spice. Sweet cinnamon sugar, vanilla custard, and melting banana toffee, layered with earthy nuts and a distinct caramelised warmth from the toasting.
Finish: Long, warm, and slightly dry, featuring lingering oak spice, fennel, and subtle hints of menthol and tobacco.
Nose: Complex, sherried notes, biscuity aromas and a touch of dried fruit. Mouth: This is a rich whisky, well balanced by the sweetness of the sherry as well as the malty aromas. Finish: long and mellow with sherry notes.
Nose: Opens with fresh, salty, oceanic notes. Develops on sweet, peat-dried malt. Mouth: Charred oak, chimney smoke, rock pools and summer tar. Finish: Long and persistent with brown sugar, ash and very phenolic.
Nose: Peaty at first, then comes the sweetness of exotic fruits (banana and pineapple), note of bacon.
Mouth: Smoky and briny, it develops on oily and medicinal notes followed by honey and citrus.
