Appearance

Rich amber with copper highlights

Nose

Rich aroma of creamy caramel and confectionery notes with lightest hint of chocolate, blended with fruity character. Green apple, mango, ripe citrus, tobacco, leather — multi-layered.

Palate

Complex fruity flavors, layered with dry smoky wood aroma, ending with long and round finish. Dried apricot, raisins, wood and citrus. Lightly sweet, colorful, sensational.

Finish

Very long persistence with dried fruit, wood, and citrus

Verdict

Bottle 25 of 697 from a single cask. Most awarded reserve. Complex fruity flavors layered with dry smoky wood aroma. A sensational whisky with very long persistence.
