Instructions
Nose: heather, toffee, vanilla, clover honey, hint of pine brown sugar
Taste: thick body, rich mouthfeel, caramel fudge, pine essences, cinnamon red hots rise and fall quickly, soft baking spices
Finish: fades to caramel sauce and cinnamon, the pine forest character lingers on the tongue
Comments: rich and sweet with a hit of heat that fades quickly, sweetness balanced by pine notes. A fine example of a complex Speyside expression; with water: nose is muted to brown sugar and basil, tasting much more of the clover honey, less cinnamon, orange marmalade notes appear, still have softened nutmeg and cinnamon in the finish along with the sweetness.
