TASTING NOTES
By Billy Abbott, Ambassador at The Whisky Exchange
Nose: Barbecued apples, and a touch of lemon, orange and pineapple jelly to start. Smoky chocolate notes develop, with orange citrus, damp oak, singed raisins, and dark and spicy fruit cake building. Candied cherries and mince pies hide at the back with dark-chocolate-covered orange segments.
Palate: Chocolate biscuits, orange oil, sweet apple and soft wood smoke lead. Hazelnut-studded chocolate notes roll through the middle joined by a touch of forest floor, oat cakes and toasted rye bread. Brown sugar, baking spices, oatmeal-and-raisin cookies and fruit cake follow.
Finish: Soft charcoal notes linger as candied apple, chocolate biscuits and cinnamon spice slowly fade.
Comment: A softly smoky rollercoaster through festive flavours, from the more traditional fruit cake and pudding notes to Christmas-stocking apples and oranges, sweet and savoury.
