Nose: A prominent oaky vanilla aroma is complemented by bright citrus notes of candied lemon and orange. Layers of apple tart, burnt sugar, and hints of cask char add depth.
Palate: The whisky delivers a lusciously sweet experience with caramel and toffee apple flavors. Creamy vanilla and spicy, toasted oak notes emerge, balanced by the candied orange peel.
Finish: The finish is long and warming, featuring rich woody spice, mellow butterscotch, toffee popcorn, and a lingering sweetness from the malt.

Nose: Richer colours. Broad and medium-weight with citrus peels, ginger snap biscuits. Sweet and with great depth. Apricot aromas develop then drift towards fruit salad. After a short time, the wood comes to the fore and water helps to release baked fruit.
Palate: A complicated palate where the initial nose would lead you to expect plump fruits, but what you get is a surprisingly dry element. Adding water will bring out the caramelised elements, balanced with the wood elements expected of a 15 year old.
Finish: Firm and slightly dry, with warming spice.
