Appearance: deep copper with slow, rich oils that caress and meander down the glass.
Nose: brown sugar, malted biscuits, vanilla seeds and apple and berry compote, barley husks, a slight clove spice and a fresh barnyard note that reminds me of my days working on farms.
Taste: crème caramel, white pepper, aniseed, apple crumble, mint chocolate, malt biscuits, apple drop sweets.
Finish: a mild spice with a maltiness that lasts long after the whisky has gone.
