ABV 40%
This fragrant Highland has a delightful balance of fruit and spices.
Strength: 40% ABV
Appearance: Pale amber.
Nose: A relatively closed nose. Planed wood, light toffee, boat varnish. Linseed oil behind, even putty, and later a lychee-like acidity. With water the acidity comes up (acid drops), and the nose sweetens. Still a pleasant fresh woodiness or leatheriness, the varnish now supported by artists turpentine. Warm sand. After a while, coffee dregs with brown sugar. Not an obvious nose, however.
Body: Medium.
Palate: Pleasantly acidic; such initial sweetness as there is quickly subsumed by acidity.
Finish: Dry to bitter; medium-length, with an attractive lingering sandalwood aftertaste.
