Color

Tawny

Nose

Very sophisticated. Complex layers of fruit mixed with sweeter notes of marzipan and marshmallows. Gentle sherry with honey and some vanilla. Cinnamon, pepper, toffee and cake. Some wax / oak polish, which brings it close to old Clynelish at times. A real gentleman.

Finish

Very long, on spicy oranges. Hints of tobacco. Getting drier.
