Tasting Notes
Nose: Enticing layers of dried apricots, demerara sugar, and nutty undertones lead the way, with a hint of Dailuaine’s characteristic savoury depth
Palate: Rich and mouth-coating, unfolding toffee, fig jam, and baking spice, supported by a subtle thread of dark chocolate and gentle oak
Finish: Long, warm, and lingering, leaving sherry-soaked fruit, sweet malt, and a final whisper of wood spice that gradually softens.
