MOSCATEL AGED 22 YEARS
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Tasting Notes
NOSE
A full, sumptuous nose consisting of dark orange marmalade, rich fig syrup and sweet dates. A dusting of cocoa and cinnamon followed by a gentle hint of garden mint adds a luxurious character.
COLOUR
Rich gold mahogany.
PALATE
Rich, velvety dark chocolate fondant topped with glazed maraschino cherries develops to plum cordial and spiced honey. The long finish is rounded with a gentle, earthy balance of nutmeg, stewed barley and old vintage leather.
