Product details
- Nose: The aroma is characterized by the lingering scent of tobacco in an empty sandalwood cigar box, complemented by Arbroath smokie, lemon oil, ginger root, and a hint of menthol. Award tasting notes from the Ultimate Beverage Challenge mention robust aromas of kindling fire, baseball card bubblegum, and grilled pear.
- Palate: It is described as rich and unctuous, with notes of dark-chocolate-dipped candied orange slices and chunks of crystallized stem ginger. Muscovado sugar syrup provides a sticky, dark drizzle over date-studded ginger cake, balanced by sweet smoke and dried autumn fruits. Whisky Advocate reviewers also noted an initial burst of red fruit flavors like cherry, plum, and fig.
- Finish: The finish is long, sweet, rich, and spicy, featuring treacle toffee and smoky black tea, sweetened by dark brown sugar. The smoke is prominent here, along with peppery spice and a drying effect that balances the sweetness.
