Finish:Sweetness, Spice, Citrus, Baked peaches.

“The interplay of floral and sherried notes creates an elegance that other scotches surely envy: candied rose petal, dried orange peel and apricot, sugared almond, raisin, nougat, and dark chocolate on the nose, then candied violet, raisin, date, milk chocolate, dried ginger, candied orange peel, and gingerbread on the palate. The maturity shows in tropical fruit flavors and a deep, probing complexity. It finishes with chocolate, coffee, candied rose petal, and tobacco-laced oak. Seamless.” – Susannah Skiver Barton, Whisky Advocate (93 Points)

“This whisky is very much like eating a candy apple next to a fireplace. Fruity and vanilla notes are further enriched by rock candy sweetness. Light baking spices, orange peel and toffee are also present, then a quick plumage of sweet burning wood wafts in. This would be an ideal Scotch whisky to sip with dessert or to finish a meal.” – Amanda Schuster, Distiller (88 Points)
