Colour: very deep gold.
Nose: gentle, cake-y, almost ‘grainy’, with notes of pink bananas, butterscotch, croissants and shortbread.
With water: oak coming out, more sweet varnish, coconut…
Mouth (neat): there are ideas of Scottish grain indeed here, indeed. A touch of varnish, orange squash, coconut, rose jelly… It’s unusually light this far. With water: better, more on orange cake and fruit wine.
Finish: medium, sour and sweet, fruity. Pencil shavings.
