A sweet Speyside with some dark

|
Tasting
notes:
|
Nose: The aroma of lemon leaves and citrus fruit gently emerges
with vanilla bean and some notes of thin chocolate milk. The chocolate milk
is dark and splashed on sweet candied stone fruit that have been layered with
manuka honey.
Taste: Lighter than expected on the palate, there is no surge of
sweetness or bitterness and instead the whisky makes a lazy start off the
running block. Eventually the sweetness develops and is quite syrupy as
shavings of dark chocolate melt on the tongue and release some bitterness
that quells the surge of candied stone fruits.
Finish: The candied stone fruits – cherry in particular – are
drowned out by a cocoa and wood bitterness with shimmers of honey
