Allocation

Nose
Complex and expressive with a hint of peat, pleasing malty aromas, varied citrus notes, dry oak, caramel, light fruitiness, and a fair bit of wood smoke. Floral notes of apple, apricot, banana, and navel orange, with oak notes of toast and vanilla.
Palate
Round, medium-bodied, and quite sweet with pleasant sweet spice, cereals, candied fruit, chocolate, peppery ashes, caramel, and orchard fruits. Silky texture with profound sweetness and richness of malt, along with a deep, dense peatiness. Stone fruits, cocoa, and soft peat are also present.
Finish
Medium-long and smooth with a touch of fruit and spice. Caramel, soft sherry notes, ashes in rosewater, mellow oak, peat notes, and a sweet, slightly bitter dark chocolate finish. Gentle smoke and subtle spice linger.
