" The nose starts with the inviting aromas of baked peaches, sultanas and fine tobacco leaves. This is a truly outstanding whisky, with an expressive set of aromas and a crystal-clear nose. The palate shows a great deal of ageing, with sweet nuts, vanilla custard and a selection of tropical fruits. It is spicy and rich, with layers of fine flavours and a beautiful, seamlessly aged texture, then a very long-lasting silky, smooth finish. A true gem. "
