Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: fruity nutty and earthy with a touch of leather and clove; creamy underneath with dried dark fruits and licorice; marmalade and chocolate too.

Palate: dark, rich and fruity with lots of spice: cinnamon and nutmeg to start with some clove and licorice developing; more dark fruits raisins and dates, dried orange and a touch of tobacco.

 Finish: soft and creamy with fading dark fruits and spices.

About the Fairy Flag Film: The film recounts the romantic legend behind the Fairy Flag, which is displayed in Dunvegan castle on the Isle of Skye. The flag was a gift to the Clan Chief of the MacDonald clan, a young Iain Breac Macleod, from a mysterious woman, Titania, possibly a fairy found on the battle ground. She gives him a flag reputed to have magical powers. You'll have to see the film for more.
