This rather dignified nose had top notes of peach, watermelon, white grapes and honeysuckle – even soap flakes; underneath that we found coconut oil, marmalade, leather-bound books, white pepper, toffee and sugared vanilla. The palate was mouth-filling and creamy – impressions of salted caramel, chocolate, candied peel, Turkish delight, crystallized ginger, cigars and jasmine tea – ‘totally flavoursome’ someone said. The reduced nose was sweet (Danish pastries) heady (geranium, pine needles, bath bombs) and deep (pecans, Dentyne, dunnage warehouses, preserved ginger). The palate was sweet and yummy – like walnut whips, with dandelion and burdock on the finish. From the oldest distillery in Dufftown.
