Packing a punch

Speyside, Spey

This was a real sniffers dram which we could have nosed all night aromas of toasted oak, coconut, pear and caramelised white chocolate galette, marzipan, pinesap and leatherthe list could go on and on! What a surprise on the palate neat; this packed a real punch with plenty of spice and charred woody notes next to a warming, never-ending, earthy tobacco grand finale. Well, what would a drop of water do? We detected a charring scent, pineapple, toffee and oak while to taste – much smoother, thicker and rich like a boozy affogato, sweet chocolate ice cream, amaretto and a steaming espresso topped with toasted hazelnuts irresistible!
