A glorious sight of liquid amber fills the senses with anticipation and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The nose of this dram is full of toffee sweetness that eventually gives way to barley sugar and some smokey cereal. There’s also a hint of sweet fruits like baked plums and raisins.
The palate is a joyous mix of apples, honey and brazil nuts with overtones of oak, smoke and spice. Indeed that nip lasts a long time.
The finish is long with a nip on the back of the throat and a dry oaky feel.
This dram has a fantastic mouth feel and finish and could easily pass for a longer aged whisky It’s also suitable for drinking straight without water although this does dull the kick somewhat.
Sláinte mhath! 🥃
