Nose: Berry fruit of ripe blackcurrants and raspberries with sugar-glazed cherries and dried fig. Hazelnut chocolate and caramelised stone fruits with warming and fragrant toasted almonds and cinnamon, alongside polished oak and worn leather.
Palate: Full-bodied and rounded, with the oak tannins complementing the sweetness of sun-kissed grapes and autumnal fruits. Vibrant spices of freshly peeled ginger and hints of liquorice along with the wine-seasoned oak influences of dried fruits, dark berries and orange peel.
Finish: Rich and lasting. The pot still spices, fruit and oak slowly fade, showcasing the balance of this complex whiskey.
