AROMAS WITHOUT WATER:
Enjoy the sweet honeycomb, toasted malt and luscious apricot infused with notes of warm ginger and fresh citrus. Underlying all these is a delicate hint of sugared almond.
TASTE WITHOUT WATER:
Now take a sip. At first, you may taste a delicate sweetness, with hints of white pepper, dried tobacco and dark cocoa. These evolve into a medley of mature oak flavours, leading to a rich, smooth smoky finish

'A bottling where the malt is hanging on for grim death against the passing of time. But the discreet light honey notes do just the trick'.
