Nose
white rose, red fruit jam, and orange-vanilla cakes.
Palate
orange poundcake hits with impact, scattering further into constituent flavours of wheat flour, raisins, and jellied berries. The 'tail' of the dram is characterised by all sorts of sweet confectionery, maple syrup, caramel, honey, and toffee, without blossoming into something overly sugary.

Finish
Medium-long finish, peppered with cinnamon, bananas, vanilla, and light oak wood.
