Nose: Sweet and delicate, a little spicy and deeply exotic. Viney, suggesting white grapes and Manzanilla sherry, then becomes lush, floral and fruity. A hint of vanilla caramel gradually appears. A drop of water lifts the citrus notes and adds hints of sweet caramel.
Mouth: The texture is soft and creamy, the taste is slightly sweet and fruity. It then becomes more lively, with acidity and spicy, peppery, drying tannins. A drop of water initially brings out the fruitiness without diminishing the spice.
Finish: Medium to long, finishing on a dry, tongue-tingling, warmly spicy note with fruity acidity and a pinch of white pepper.
Nose: A herbaceous, floral note immediately reveals itself through aromas of tomato plants and heather, accompanied by a hint of morello cherry and smoked bacon.
Mouth: Sweet and savory meet, with notes of smoked ham, raspberry jam and honey.
Finish: Characteristic coastal notes appear on the finish.
Nose: Aberfeldy Equinox & Solstice 10 Year Old reveals subtle aromas of honey, dried fruit and sweet spices. Feel: On the palate, this whisky reveals notes of ripe fruit, creamy vanilla and toasty oak. Finish: The finish is long and balanced, with hints of toffee, walnut and black pepper.
