(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow Virtual Whisky Tasting, 9th July 2020). Nose: Floral, spice, vanilla, honey, golden syrup Palate: Chocolate, rose petals, spiced tea / chai. Oddly, it reminded me a little of a spiced vanilla rum. Finish: Chocolate, honey, sweet fruit cake / Christmas pudding Well layered and complex. Has a light, sweet vanilla taste all through that is very pleasant. Very nice mouthfeel. Came joint second out of the six malts tasted on the night, with 14% of the vote for favourite.

*12 años* Moscatel. Acidez marcada que marca la experiencia de este whisky. Uva verde. Limón. En boca astringencia y acidez pero con un cuerpo que aporta un final más equilibrado y agradable.
