There's a subtle floral note, hinting at a mature spirit, followed by a soft oak presence that suggests age without being overpowering. A touch of baking spice – cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg – rounds out the bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is smooth and surprisingly gentle given its proof, coating the mouth with a velvety texture. Flavors of butterscotch and toasted nuts emerge first, quickly followed by a pleasant warmth of sweet corn and a delicate spiciness. Notes of dried dark fruit, perhaps fig or prune, mingle with a faint tobacco leaf character. The oak influence is present but well-integrated, providing structure rather than dominance, with a subtle tannin grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is medium-long and satisfying. It gracefully fades with lingering notes of sweet vanilla and a gentle, peppery spice. The oak resurfaces as a pleasant, dry warmth, leaving a clean, refined impression with a hint of roasted marshmallow and a whisper of dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eI.W.
