Nose: Honey, vanilla, chocolate, nougat, and toffee in
abundance followed by hints of wholesome freshly ground
nutmeg.

notes of chocolate covered honey comb mixed with pistachio

small casks, it gives an impression of being older than its ten
years.

creaminess outstays the spices to a long smooth and sweet
finish. With water this dram develops an even sweeter finish,
fruity and sugar candy, it becomes even smoother.
