Official tasting notes.
Nose: Toasty butterscotch toffee and malt with notes of roasted almonds, Rich fruit cake and plum pudding.
Palate: Thick, oily, oaky with dried fruits and dark chocolate. The dram builds across the palate to a big, full and zesty peak.
Finish: Long, warm, comforting with clean dry and lingering spiciness. Takes a little water very well with more viscosity and marzipan notes developing as it rests in the glass.
