Tasting Notes:

Colour: Yellow Gold
Nose: Straight from the bottle, the initial aroma is of marzipan with just a trace of peat smoke that is overlaid by the morello cherry and blackcurrant fruitiness.
A touch of water releases all the multitudes of complex flavours that one expects from this Highland Malt. The peat smoke appears immediately as a touch of leather that fades and allows the creamier fruit and heather flower rich softness that is balanced by the tang of oak.
Body: Richness balanced with fruity softness
Palate: At bottle strength the peat smoke bursts in the mouth and overpowers the softer flavours. With a touch of water the peat concentration is mellowed by vanilla cream and a sweet oakiness
Finish: Crisp and quite long lasting
