Nose: Annandale Man o'Sword whisky reveals intense aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and toffee.
Feel: On the palate, this single malt reveals rich notes of toasted grain, oak and honey, with a hint of black pepper.
Finish: The finish is long and warm, giving way to lingering flavors of dried fruit and spice.

Nose: Fairly sweet. Fresh, clean phenols immediately assert themselves, with aromas of fire on a beach and wood ash. They are supported by subtle fruity notes, some sweet, suggesting rowan jelly, others evoking unripe currants. With a drop of water, the ash is more present.

Mouth: Unctuous and with a texture that really fills the mouth, very sweet at first then quickly drying, with a hint of salt and a smoky taste of lip-smacking intensity. A drop of water brings out the sweetness even more, but makes little difference.

Finish: Long, powerfully smoky and drying, with a touch of spice that also lingers in the aftertaste.
