Speyside, Spey

Toffee, coconut and vanilla coated apple crumble with cinnamon spice, as the sweet scents of a rose garden combined with un-malted grains and popcorn. The palate brought a spicy fury that was tamed by honey, lavender and tarragon, before stone fruits and grapefruit pith dried the finish. With a dash of water, aromas adopted waxy textures like oily lemon skins and furniture polish. Walnuts and hazelnuts then arrived with buttered hot crossed buns and marzipan. With the heat on the tongue now tempered, heather honey, soft fudge and fondant icing emerged alongside milk chocolate, toasted cereals and stone fruits with nut skins on the finish.
