Nose: Creamy and sweet with aromas of heather honey, soft nougat, vanilla fudge and toasted brioche with lemon zest highlights.
Palate: Nutty and well-rounded with layers of creme brulee and boiled sweets mingled with touches of mocha and amoretti biscuit.
Finish: Mellow and warming with notes of shortbread, cinnamon icing and brittle toffee lingering on the tongue.

Nose: Very sweet. Initially, it is all creme caramel, caramelised fruit sugars, wood sugar, toffee and fudge before some apple and peach come through. In time, a charred note of bourbon with a pleasing dusty dryness. Has some power.
Palate: Sweet start and quite fat. Though the alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz, the result is a good mid-palate weight. The dry distillery character is still there, but there is now depth to counter. Water slightly dismantles the different elements but adds some dried mint.
Finish: Deep and dark, with gentle spice and lingering peat smoke.
