Tasting Notes
Nose: It doesn’t jump out at you. But, there’s more here than meets the eye. With apple crumble, expressed lemon peel and a touch of mango. Millionaire’s shortbread, banoffee pie, coconut milk, dried grass, orange Turkish delight and cardamom.
Palate: Toffee and vanilla with pleasant supporting oak notes. Fresh banana, neither overpowering nor artificia. At last, a hint of nougat and honeycomb pieces.
Finish: Praline, cinnamon and a little ginger. Perhaps a hint of cardamom returning right at the death.
Overall: Approachable, adaptable and good mouthfeel. I chucked some ice in afterwards and the texture was great. A hugely accessible whisky with tasty spice, toffee. Now with the ice, increasing some tropical fruit notes too.
