Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
Fruity and nuanced, with pear and nougat, followed by celeriac, marzipan, and elderflower On the
Palate:
Summer wood reminiscent of classic Speyside flavors blurs the line between tannic and sweet, with buttery apricot and stone fruits mingled with tobacco and fresh hay The Finish: Long and drying, the finish shifts quickly from toasted oak to Ecuadorean dark chocolate to a lingering essence of Brazil nuts Complex and well balanced, this is a satisfying dram worthy of searching out, and I give it a score of 89 Points.
