Nose
Aromatic & ripe stone fruit (plums & squishy dark cherries), mixed with notes of beeswax furniture polish. Cola bottles, sour jelly sweets, blackcurrant jelly and some dried wood. A distant hint of mint lurks in the background.
Palate

Finish
As you'd hope and expect from this rather famous distillery, it's long & refined with sweetness merging into gentle sour notes that play on the palate.
