The palate features a bright sweetness that evokes notes of spun sugar and golden syrup, moving from there into notes of fresh sesame seed, orange blossom honey, and lingering notes of coconut and milk chocolate. Very much approachable and agreeable, the finish hangs on for longer than expected, quite sweet but immersive and, put simply, a lot of fun.

The hogshead-aged 14 year old is pale as a ghost but full of life, its nose evoking a big, sunny rush of spun sugar and baking spices. A light slick of petrol wafts over the top, but the whisky does not strike the nose as medicinal or industrial, paradoxically. Rather, it comes across as sharp but slightly austere, perhaps more mature than its 14 year age statement would suggest.
The palate does not rock the boat, featuring a bright sweetness that evokes notes of spun sugar and golden syrup, moving from there into notes of fresh sesame seed, orange blossom honey, and lingering notes of coconut and milk chocolate. Very much approachable and agreeable, the finish hangs on for longer than expected, quite sweet but immersive and, put simply, a lot of fun.
