Nose: Sweet aromas of ripe fruit and vanilla. Mouth: A smooth texture with notes of honey and sweet spices. Finish: A long, warm finish with notes of oak and dried fruit.
Nose : Approachable and rich. First polished wood and nuts (toasted hazelnut) dominate, then stewed fruits (baked apples), dried fruits (sweet dates), and soft brown sugar take over. Mossy too, after a while.
Palate : Sweetness and crunchy nuts impress at first, then there’s a smooth, fruity Speyside richness to enjoy. Firm, with a balancing sweetness. Brown sugar and espresso coffee. Warming and pleasant.
Finish : Medium to long, elegantly drying and crisp, completed by a pleasant, sweetly nutty chew-ability.
Nose : Soft candle smoke and manuka honey sweetness open this dram, and the complexity builds in notes of cranberries, white pepper, potpourri and orange.
Palate : Notes of honeycomb, icing sugar, crystallised ginger and demerara sugar emerge on the palate, along with a brine, salt note reminiscent of salted caramel.
Finish : Peat smoke continues to the finish, with notes of eucalyptus, mint and gorse bush.
Nose: Overall dry, vinous impression supported by spicy, woody notes. Seductive aromas of tart red berries, vanilla, a hint of wax. A little water softens the nose and relaxes the aroma, without much alteration.
Mouth: Ultra-unctuous, gourmet texture. Barley sugar, pinch of salt, suggestions of currant and crunchy grape. At reduced strength, it's not as tart, but still spicy; the sweetness is enhanced but the mouth-watering spicy heat remains.
Finish: Long and dry with pepper and mild spice. With milder water, now with a trace of fondant in the aftertaste.
Nose: Subtle aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and honey reveal themselves delicately. Mouth: On the palate, notes of cereal, dried fruit and toasted oak bring remarkable depth and elegance. Finish: The finish is long and warm, giving way to spicy, woody notes that linger pleasantly on the palate.
Nose: Glen Ord Signatory 100 proof n°22 reveals complex notes of ripe fruit, honey and spices.
