Review by Gordon & MacPhail

Colour

Lightest Gold.

Nose

Crisp and fruity; aromas of pressed green apple and fresh lime zest entwine with banana and dried apricot. Flashes of vanilla, elderflower, and honey complement notes of melting white chocolate.

Palate

Warming white pepper softens to showcase flavours of soft butterscotch, warm cinnamon-stewed apple, and buttery pastry. Vibrant lemon peel notes freshen the dram.

Finish

Long and intricate; menthol nuances linger.
