Key flavors originate from a recipe that includes spicy Blair Athol, fruity Glen Elgin, and creamy Cardhu. The nose revolves around apple pie filling, honey, sponge candy, malted milk, gentle spices, and Florentines, with a gentle coastal smokiness. Orange peel oils, dried apple, vanilla, fragrant spices, marzipan, and toasted almond flakes on the palate, with a finish of Chantilly cream, vanilla, and poached pear.
