Quite a cosy dram, really. I get ripe apples, vanilla and this very creamy, buttery thing, almost like marshmallows with icing sugar 😊 There’s a grassy edge too, bit of green tea, orange blossom water, then preserved peaches and honey sweets. Later it turns a touch spicy, with turmeric, beeswax and some active oak hanging about. Sweet, waxy, and rather long.

Got a lovely soft feel, very creamy, with preserved pears and peaches straight away. Then it turns a bit sweet-shop, marshmallows, vanilla and icing sugar, but there’s a grassy green tea thing keeping it from getting too much. Bit of ginger, cereals, cane syrup, and a wee waxy/paraffin touch too. Quite pleasant really 😊
