A rare and unusual old whisky, subtle in style yet possessing considerable hidden depths, that shows fantastic  balance and poise as fruit rolls into spice, then into sweet herbal notes and back again, its characterful spirit  clearly aided by excellent cask influence. Makes a luxurious apéritif.

Appearance: 18CT gold. Good legs and very viscous.

Nose: A mellow base aroma, soft and sweet, like a buttery pastry case, lightly dusted with nutmeg ready for a  custard filling, or perhaps almond oil and oak shavings. Above this, there’s a fruity filling of gently sour apples,  spiced pears and ripe melon, orange peel too, before an intense brown sugar sweetness builds. The spicy notes  continue to develop, with clove and cinnamon-laced biscuits balanced by candied lemon, more sharp apple and  an underlying green herbiness. A drop of water introduces a waxy note and suppresses the fruity elements.

Body: Light to medium. Smooth textured.

Palate: Smooth, sweet and fruity, with a trace of crisp acidity and oak spice to balance the sweetness before it  can cloy. The apples and pastry on the nose persist, now caramelized and bitter-sweet, as part of the fruity centre  palate. With a splash of water the taste becomes lightly sweeter, while light acidity again steps in to reveal more  complexity. The fruit is savoury; light floral notes appear; the oak picks up char; the spice is toasted and fragrant.

Finish: Warming, spicy and lingering, with liquorice that fades to stewed, baked and fresh-sliced apples and  warming oak that persists in closing, bitter-sweet flavours.
