Description

Nose : That unmistakable distillery character of maritime salt, but tempered with hints of autumn fruits intertwined amongst the malty summeryness. Spiced stewed red apples with a drop of caramel. Leave this one to air for a bit!

Palate : Thick and sweet with a teaspoon of spices. Red toffee apples. That bit more depth than Noss Head with the sherry addition giving a fruity back note to the dram which is well deserved.

Finish : Again, warming, slightly spicy and medium in length. The last lingering roughness found in Noss Head is helped out here with the sherry and doesn’t make it’s presence so noticeable. All in all a great ending which has some fresh grassy notes.
