Appearance: Amber-coloured, clear, brilliant Nose: A sweet nose, blending caramelised notes, malty grains and fruity hints. Palate: On the palate, the flavours faithfully mirror the nose, with vanilla and dried fruit carried by a distinct oaky character. The body is medium, the alcohol is well integrated, and a slight astringency provides a balanced structure to the whole. The finish is quite long, lingering with a hint of spice. Overall impression: A smooth, rounded whisky, where the caramelised and fruity notes rest on a malty base, with the alcohol well integrated.
