Light amber color. Aromas and flavors of dried rose pedals, potpourri with cinnamon and nutmeg, spiced date cake, and toasted hazelnut with a round, crisp, dryish medium body and a warming, compelling, medium-length finish that presents overtones of grilled figs, spiced bacon wrapped dates, allspice in dark honey, and rose and orange in black tea. Rich wine cask essence on the nose with a sweet, rich grainy palate and lingering oaky baking spice on the finish.

The Highlands consist of the portion of Scotland north of a line from Dundee on the North Sea coast in the east to Greenock on the Irish Sea in the west. Highland malt whiskies cover a broad spectrum of styles. They are generally aromatic, smooth and medium bodied, with palates that range from lushly complex to floral delicacy. The subregions of the Highlands include Speyside; the North, East and West Highlands.
