Nose
Lovely, fresh nose on Granny Smith apples and Doyenné du Comice pears, white chocolate, green grapes and ripe kiwi. Green banana peel. Lemongrass. Nougat and candyfloss.
Palate
Good continuation of the nose. WYSIWYG. Upholstered with a pinch of white peper and something bitter – but not overly much – from the wood.
Finish
The finish is surprisingly long, bittersweet and a touch piquant (for an Auchentoshan!).
