A scent of sweet, ripe orchard fruits filled the room with apples, pears, oranges, bananas and cherries. In the background, however, was a deeper note of caramelised plums in port wine with a cinnamon cream.

Lost power so the only thing worth doing is trying another bottle I picked up. This definitely has your more typical peat scotch flavor with a lot of lingering…
