Nose : Barley sugar sweeties and orange oil lead the way, with notes of apricot jam and summer berries joining. Biscuity malt rests beneath, with a touch of vanilla.
Palate : Tangy tropical fruits aplenty here, with charred pineapple and drizzles of honey. Vanilla takes the lead bringing notes of creamy fudge, with hints of ginger and stewed berries resting beneath.
Finish : Dark chocolate, candied orange, buttered shortbread, and toasted, oaken spice
