FIRST APPEARANCE FROM THIS DISTILLERY FOR SMWS CANADA

First nosing indicated a richly sweet profile full of butterscotch, highland toffee and milk chocolate buttons. Beyond that we also got a touch of violet liqueur, porridge sweetened with strawberry jam and also orange peel. Some water revealed manuka honey, sweet rice pudding with nutmeg, boiled citrus sweets, manila envelope and menthol tobacco.

Neat, the palate displayed plenty more gooey sweetness, with banana bread, dark chocolate, cloves, cardamom pastries and barley sugars. Reduction brought a mellow and easy mouthfeel, along with pink peppercorn fruitiness, dried flowers, baked apples with custard and a splash of lemonade.
