Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Distillery: Firmer, drier notes from soft vanilla to crisp grape. Sweeter, nuttier tones come from the malted barley and cask wood. |
| Taste |
| Distillery: Dry, after early biscuit-sweetness. Enormous malt character contrasts with the fruitiness of the grape. |
| Finish |
| Distillery: Very long, dry, oaky. Very faint peppery notes add spice, softened by very late caramel. |
