Less spicy, more mature, slightly darker in colour, and deeper in flavour than the 12-year-old; the house style of the distillery, beautifully presented. Long and beautifully rounded. Very gently warming. Soothing. A hint of cinnamon and roses and the slightest of medicinal notes, with marzipan returning in the aftertaste.
Nose: Soft, warming and lusciously fruity, lots of flavour, vanilla sweetness, toffee apples, cocoa beans.
Palate: Creamy, vanilla sweetness, aniseed, rich juicy fruit and peppermint.
Finish: Long and spicy, cinnamon and apricot.
