Let's Taste It :
Beautiful fullness on the nose, a shade of peat and camphor, evanescent smoke. I slept in the hay, surrounded by fruits, grapes, peaches, apricots, and of course very sweet, almost honeyed vanilla. Earth a bit dry, grainy. Slight acidity, apple not quite ripe. Very fine balance. Velvety on the palate, with a hint of gooseberry, followed by rising spices and then pomegranate. Cloves. It's suave. Woody notes, including on the finish, which is fairly long, caramel, lingonberries. Cinnamon.
In Short,
A very enjoyable nectar, very fruity and characteristic of the distillery. Unfortunately, the price is quite extravagant.
Score : 89
