This has a lovely bakery-and-fruit thread: warm bread dough on the nose leads into cinnamon and cardamom buns, baked apples and pears on the palate. The light body and oak-led character keep it from feeling especially weighty, while the peach and custard pastry on the finish give it a sweet, creamy landing. A relaxed, appealing direction for a single malt, with enough woody spice to balance the softer pastry notes.
Nose: Nutty and sawn timber, with warm yeasty bread dough, linseed oil and a touch of aniseed., Honey, oatcakes, digestive biscuits, green apples, pears, subtle baking spices and almond flakes.Palate: Freshly baked cinnamon and cardamom buns, juicy baked apples, raisins, pears and sweet baked peach melba., Light-bodied and oak-led, with honey and biscuit notes, woody spice, and hints of blueberries, blackberries and orange peel.Finish: Peach and custard pastry, with a creamy mouthfeel and fresh minty and spicy notes.
