Gold color. Aromas and flavors of baked and slightly smoky caramel apple, peaty water used for brewing green tea, leather, cedar, and blonde tobacco, and golden date syrup with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish conveying impressions of spiced and baked apple, sticky toffee pudding baked over a wood fire, salted caramel, and smoked honey nut loaf. Speyside orchard fruits and honeyed grain with a light smoke and rich earthy character; the aromas of walking around Scotland all bottled up.
