Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: silky, seductive, soft and creamy ; very floral to start, lots of white fruit: apple and pear, with a touch of orange and honey; spices in the background with some chewy malt.
Palate: bigger than expected, amazingly creamy, lots of fruits: white, citric and tropical; the whisky has some weight to it, clotted cream, melted vanilla ice cream and honey; the spices and floral notes show up late to the party with chewy malt.
Finish: spicy, toasty and coating with more creamy vanilla, honey and fruits slowly fading out.
Comment: very mature for a whisky of just 16 years!
