Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: floral and decandent, melons, sauteed pears, toasted oak and spices (ginger) and bright sugars; a touch of pineapple, raisins and white chocolate.
Palate: very toasty and sugary with coating oak and more delicate fruits: pear, melon and cooked pineapple with dried ginger candies; the whisky is very sweet, sugary and coating with decadent honey and white chocolate notes.
Finish: warming, toasty and spicy with the fruits and sugars lingering longest.
Comments: while it is starting to show its age, this whisky has a lot of life left!
