Nose
Honey, vanilla, a gentle malty sweetness. Clean and inviting, with a touch of dried apple and a faint floral quality. The double aging — blended, then returned to oak — adds a rounded warmth.
Palate
Smooth and honeyed — toffee, malt, a gentle oak sweetness. The Aberfeldy malt backbone provides a characteristic honey note that defines the blend. A touch of cereal warmth and a gentle spice mid-palate. Well-balanced and undemanding.
Finish
Medium, clean, with honey and a gentle malty warmth.
