Review by Ardbeg

Colour

Delicate gold.

Nose

Sweet toffee, chocolate, hints of treacle and Butterkist popcorn. With water, vanilla, honey and almonds are revealed, along with gentle spices, particularly cinnamon.

Palate

Peppery and warming. The delicious, treacly, charcoal smoke reveals itself fully, with hints of herbs and malt.

Finish

A long treacle and cloves aftertaste.
