Tasting notes and bottle details taken from the Hearach Distillery website.
Nose: Aromas of cinnamon, orange peel and cloves with green notes of mixed herbs and the creaminess of white chocolate.
Taste: Wood smoke and walnut shells. The dram develops with a herbal hint of dried thyme closely followed by burnt oranges. Spices then come through like vanilla pods and a subtle sense of cloves before a long leather and liquorice finish.
