Online tasting note for reference:

Nose: immediately waxy and recognizable. It shows big notes of orange blossom honey and sweet baked apples and ripe yellow plums. There is a very light hint of peat in the background, which brings it close to some of the latest Brora expressions (which were closer to Clynelish sometimes, if you know what I mean). Just a hint of creamy vanilla and cinnamon pastry. Deluxe indeed.

Mouth: good mix of dry and fruity notes. Orchard fruits again (apples, greengages) but also light tropical touches (grapefruit, tangerine), balanced by some mineral notes and a dry grassiness. Pepper and clove, just a hint of vanilla and fresh oak shavings, perhaps a tad younger than expected? Not exactly peaty, but there’s an ashy side to it.

Finish: more bitterness of the grapefruit and waxy lemons now, rather zesty with the riper fruits and oak spices in the very end.
