Tasting Notes

The nose was a flash flood of fruity fun – green apple, limeade, fruit salad chews and jam, with lesser notes of birch twigs, nettles and rose in the slipstream. The palate, still sweet and fruity with citrus, kiwi and banana, led on to marmalade, dried apricot and pear skins, before finishing with ginger snaps, almonds and oak. The reduced nose had us cavorting in the sun with fresh hay, summer creams, apple turnovers, sweet peas and linen freshness. The palate was now easy-going yet sophisticated: honeyed, fruity and refreshing, leaving a warm, golden glow of a Speyside summer of vanilla, gentle wood and understated spice.
