------------------------------------

Tasting note from WhiskyNotes for reference:

Nose: beautiful fruits as we’d expect them from this house. A lot of apricot jam, tinned peaches and juicy nectarines with hints of oranges and mango. Later also tangerines. In the background there’s a fine minerality, subtle floral notes and rancio. Spanish turrón, hints of roasted nuts or light mocha if you dive deep.

Mouth: starts on these mineral notes, slightly dry and grapefruity, but it bursts open to richer fruits almost immediately. More apricots, peaches and tangerines. Then lots of minty notes, with some herbal tea, leading up to spices like nutmeg and ginger. Subtle chestnuts and pinesap, as well as some roasted walnuts.

Finish: quite long, with lots of nutty notes, lingering fruit, light resin and drops of clove oil.
