Very interestingly this bottling is older than the distillery's life itself Nose: Fragrant, malty cereals with a syrupy and creamy note. Palate: Floral with malt, a heavy and rich thick palate with some natural waxiness at the same time Finish: Subtle oak overlayed with white and dark chocolate tones.
