Intense and captivating aromas led us into a melody of chili chocolate, orange marmalade and butterscotch as brazil nuts and hazelnuts crumbled on top of carrot cake. On the palate we found cloves, ginger and coffee joyfully jigging with roasted figs and brandy butter as blackcurrants merged with dark chocolate in the corner.

With water a celebration of party sparklers fizzed with cinnamon before orange sponge cake and banana loaf shook their thing with vanilla ice cream and a glass of port. Then stewed apples arrived in a salted caramel jumpsuit to dance alongside roasted bananas, cocoa nibs and pear tarts dressed with star anise and orange peel.

Bottled for the 2021 Speyside Whisky Festival.
