Tasting Notes
Nose |
Distillery: Honeysuckle, melon and marzipan with a spicy edge to add balance. Add water and a lush fruit attack appears with banana, forest flowers and a rich nutty character. |
Taste |
Distillery: Richly honeyed and backed with a lifting zestiness which slides into spice and zingy salt. Once the dram opens out, vanilla and sultana stand out followed by notes of toasted oak. |
Finish |
Distillery: A glorious combination of voluptuous Sauternes and snake-hippe Arran Malt - a richly rewarding partnership. |
