Description

Region: Highland, Scotland

Flavour: Nose: fairly dry but with a tart fruity edge that works really well. Rhubarb, mirabelles, oranges, maybe buckthorn. Hints of dried apricots, almonds and toffee. Polished wooden floors, nice. Heather honey. A bit of earthy coffee beans in the background, just a touch of unlit matchstick in the background.

Mouth: plenty of sherry, with lots of spicy notes (pepper, clove), a bit of polished wood again, then more towards chocolate, roasted nuts and proper espresso, including the bitter edge. 

Finish: long, fairly dry, nutty and a hint of smoky oak.
