Tasting note

Nose: Intense and sharp. Slightly spirity. Leafy. Fern. Cherry trifle. White pepper.,Palate: Enveloping and warm. Velvety. Cream fudge. A lot of spices. Nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper. Finish: Long-lasting. Warm. Gently vanishing with almonds and nuts. Comment: Quite a muscular Speysider. The perfect dram to buck you up after a woodland walk mushroom-picking on a cold November day. Score - 7.5 (out of 10). (Martine Nouet, whiskymag.com, Nov. 16, 2002)
