Nose: Expressed orange peel covers rich plums, raisins and toffee pennies. Oak spice lingers in the background and the aroma is incredibly inviting for a cask strength dram.

Palate: A light start rolls into a rich and exceptionally well-rounded whisky. Caramelised almonds at first before the orange notes reappear bitter on the palate. The oak spice opens up to reveal a medley of cooking spices with cumin, cinnamon and curry powder centre stage.

Finish: Sweet touches of sherry mingle with the spices. The dram becomes slightly chewy and you are left with a long, medium-dry finish.
