Review and Tasting

Sampled on 05/09/2011

Appearance

Clear, pale straw golden.

Aroma

A burst of vanilla and toffee leaps from the nose - a nose perhaps reminiscent of a vanilla-flavoured currant bun than a twenty-year-old whisky.

Taste

Ith water, slightly sweet with pronounced vanilla, orange fudge and toffee flavours. Creamy mouthfeel with grainy spirit notes and delicate oak tannins providing backbone.

Aftertaste

Lingering fudge and vanilla with citrus and almond flavours. Worth presenting to non-whisky drinkers as a dry vanilla and fudge spirit.
