Back after nosing the CS, this one strangely feels stronger than before on the nose and almost on par with the CS, though the difference in strength really ‘shows’. Okay, really smells. (‘Shows’ was better. Anyway.)

The nose has a medium intensity and your glass needs to be quite close to your nose to get the first scents. Single Pot Still spices, caramel, vanilla, this is very sweet. Light sherries notes of sultanas, ripe grapes, dark berries. Frangipane epiphany cake.

Thin arrival unfortunately, on spicy caramel and light cardboard notes. The malt part of the SPS is noticeable here. Green apple, plum, slightly underripe cherries, light woodiness. Good balance between the bourbon and sherry casks, both discernable, both present and none taking the upper hand against the other.

Sultanas, caramel, light citrusy note, medium length.
