Nose: Rich and robust, with slight hints of vanilla and fruit, maple syrup, and just a touch of nuttiness
Palate: Delicately smooth and creamy with hints of oak and the sweet flavor of vanilla, rye spice, and some dried-fruit sweetness.
Finish: Long and lingering.

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.
