A bowl of overripe tropical fruit with vanilla, coconut, and honey background. It’s a big punch of fruitiness that you don’t tend to get as impactful in scotch, where the fruits are often, but not always, more gentle. I also get marzipan-covered fruitcake with cinnamon and nutmeg spice.

Palate

Great flavors and a lovely journey on the palate. It starts with sweet orange and a mix of tropical fruits but then transitions to sour lime, with chocolate coming and giving us chocolate limes. The sourness begins to subside, and the tropical fruits return in abundance, with creamy vanilla, coconut, and the remaining chocolate creating the flavor of bounty bars. A light, peppery spice tingles the tongue but in no way imposes itself. Oak is coming through, but I’m relieved it’s balanced and not too drying.

I get copper coins from the creamy coconut and chocolate as it finishes. It sips well at full strength, and I don’t find water brings anything extra. This is glorious whisky.
