Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: doughy and fruity; French bakery aromas on an early Winter morning; tallow wax candles and almond paste croissants pulled from the over on parchment paper; slightly green cantaloupes and zesty lime icing. 

Palate: sweet, creamy and fruity; the whisky's delivery is delicate but very beautiful; creamed honey, Madagascar vanilla and more lime icing; buttery croissants, almond pastries and other baked / confectionary goods; still waxy with some white fruits developing and more melon tones; a touch of decadent spices.

Finish: light but long, elegant, fruity and waxy; it coats the palate leaving behind decadent suagrs and oak spices.

Comment: phenomenol... my kinda dram; old and delicate, but with lots of bright vibrant flavours.
