Tasting notes from whiskyfun: Official tasting notes:
NA Nose: Dry and robust with wild flower characteristics. Sweet oak follows with elegant vanilla bean extract and ripe fermented grape juice.
Colour: Full gold with distinctive amber traces.
Taste: Subtle floral elements including violets, rosehip and dandelion. Creamy oak notes, married with vanilla and nutmeg round off the mix, partnered with ripe peaches and apricots. Mellow, rounded and very smooth.
