"This whisky presents a light, slightly floral nose with hints of dried fruit, stewed apples, and a touch of plum, complemented by a slight balsamic note. The palate reveals toasted wood, quince, and raisins, alongside baking spices, ginger, and maple syrup. It finishes with a balanced med-long profile, featuring tannic levels that dissipate well, leaving a sour and floral essence."

"This whisky presents a very chocolatey and malty nose, leading to a palate rich with fairground toffee apple, fudge, and heather honey. Hints of raisin and sultana complement warming wood spices, while a slight maltiness and background gingerbread add depth. The smooth, gentle palate features fruit pastilles and fine spices, resulting in an excellently composed and long-lasting finish."
