Appearance: Light, brilliant gold Nose: The nose, of moderate intensity, combines cereal malt with white fruits and sweet spices. Palate: On the palate, the round, creamy attack develops a rich fruitiness, enhanced by a hint of smoke. The well-integrated oak brings notes of nuts, with a warmth that is present yet controlled. The finish is fairly long, lingering on notes of vanilla. Overall impression: A well-rounded and balanced whisky, where the malt and fruitiness harmonise with well-integrated oak, despite a perceptible warmth.
