Palate: Toffee, caramel, flame Raisins, dark chocolate.

Ed's review
Colour: Natural colour, loose-leaf tea. Coats my glass thickly.
Nose: Rich. Toffee apples meet rum and raisin fudge. Hewn oak and vanilla. Black pepper and star anise. Alcohol is well integrated.
Palate: Thick, full mouthfeel that coats my palate. Rich and generous. Caramelised apples in a sticky toffee saucy spiked with vanilla. Soft, spiced, gingerbread. Coffee and dark chocolate. Alcohol is well integrated, contributing to that full mouthfeel.
Finish: Medium to long finish, velvety. Figs, dried oranges, chocolate, and a little wood spice.
Overall: A delicious whisky - the mouthfeel made it feel particularly luxurious. Great cask finish.
