Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of lemon in sweet tea, dried apricot and orange zest, sticky toffee pudding, and fig with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish that presents impressions of dried red berries and orange zest, toffee, bread pudding, and spiced banana chip dipped in apricot jam. A rock solid Single Malt with light sherry cask influence; exactly what you want and expect.
