Nose
Sublimely sweet and thick. Hints of light citrus and rounded notes of thick honey, malt, gingernut biscuits and a touch of Islay smoke.
Palate
Initially very sweet and nutty, white chocolate, hazelnut and tropical fruit. Then the Caol Ila notes force their way through with a gentle wave of smoke and brine.
Finish
A long, fruity finish, with hints of smoke and iodine lingering, at the same time as sweet yoghurt and peaches.
