Tasting Notes
The whisky presents oaked chardonnay, truffles, orange oil, walnuts, apple juice, and fig chutney. With water, the nose reveals waxed fruits, honey, heather, gorse, Twiglets, and sawdust.
Polished oak and mulling spices mingle with caramelised steak and marmite, while a wisp of garden bonfire smoke adds complexity. The syrupy mouth-feel carries flavours of apricot Danish, cinnamon roll, and red wine.
The spiciness builds with considerable impetus on the finish, leaving a persistent and warming conclusion.
