This whisky opens with a mellow nose with meringue, raspberry and redcurrants all featuring alongside a slight floral note .On the palate it is velvety and rich initially with vanilla fudge then late chocolate  hazelnut taste comes through at the end. The finish is pleasantly long and dry with a nutty oak aftertaste
