Tasting notes
Nose: Notes of freshly baked shortbread, cream soda, banana loaf and coconut shavings introduce this heavily peated dram.
Palate: The creamy, vanilla notes carry through to the palate in notes of buttered digestive biscuits and custard creams.
Finish: The peat is prominent in the finish, along with hints of gooseberries to round off this dram.
