in a sentence… A slow matured malt, accessible in both aroma and flavour; easy to drink, young at heart for an 18 year old. 

Nose:

Simple and attractive - you want to taste it. Deep, rich fruit - ripe plums, tinned pears, tinned mandarin oranges after a while. Soft vanilla fudge. With water, still fruity but more acidic. A trace of caramelised brown sugar. Digestive biscuits.

Palate:

Pleasant to drink straight - sweet, with deeper almond notes, hints of sherry and light oak, some malty flavours. With a little water (not too much) still sweet and mouth-filling; some digestive biscuits.
