Tasting note

The lightest of the 1824 Series, the Gold is youthful with aromas of vanilla and caramel alongside of dried banana, apricot and citrus notes; The palate is straight-forward with flavours of vanilla, spiced oatmeal, apple, pear and milk chocolate notes wrapping up on a long delicate vanilla and fruity finish.

This burnished gold spirit presents a lemon citrus nose, then orange peel and an interlacing sweetness that softens but doesn't eliminate the zest. A quiet note of vanilla is followed by dark chocolate; more assertive, yet not overly so, with lingering floral and light oak notes. Citrus and boiled sweets rule the palate, along with hints of ginger and cinnamon, while soft oak tones reveal toaasted apples. The finish is medium sweet, malty and slightly dry.

A great gift idea. You will find flavours of Orange marmalade, vanilla, and toffee in this well balance and approachable scotch. (December 2013 Insider Pick by Adele Shaw, Portfolio Manager for Spirits, Fortified, Fruit, South Africa, and Asian wines)
