Honey hi

The neat nose revealed creamy vanilla foam and victoria sponge cake, which also suggested a good sense of texture about this whisky. We then noted the lovely natural sweetness of barley sugars and honey, before a subtle waxiness emerged. Reduction brought out flower nectars, heather honey, light shilling ales and freshly baked bread. When neat, the palate was dominated by floral honeys, hints of youthful dessert wines, yellow plums and sweet breakfast cereals. Water revealed notes of plum eau de vie, white flowers full of pollen, lemon barley water and American cream soda sweetness.
