Category: Highland Single Malt Scotch

Date Tasted:
Country: Scotland
Alcohol: 40%
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.
