TESTING NOTES:
Colour
Honey amber.

Nose
This is a fruity, cream and very complex whisky. The initial impact is of very strong vanilla and fruit - an intricate mixture of bananas and citrus fruits. Then drier notes emerge with oak, baked bread and butter, followed by heather and honey tones.

With water the vinous notes are detected interwoven with ice cream soda and lemonade, followed by the drier notes of Glen Moray, and, in particular, a whiff of peat, a hint of leather and straw.

Taste
Dry with pepper and a sweet spiciness like humbugs. With water there is more creaminess, followed by a pleasant, dry grapey tang. The texture is mouthwarming with delicate spices and menthol.

Finish
The finish is medium leaving the dry tang of fruit skins (peach and grape must).
