Nose: Nice balance of light and fruity wine-like aromas and a rich, creamy maltiness. With time sugary sweet - white sugar and honey. Definitely Sauternes notes.

Taste: Medium body - oily in style. Quite sweet - and fruity; grape juice, ripe apples and pineapple. Vanilla and ginger.

Finish: Medium long finish. Light and fruity all the way. Added mild spices now.

Comment: If you enjoy Sauternes cask matured whisk(e)y, then you will certainly appreciate this dram. It is a delight.

Score 87/100
