An armada of honey and caramel types sail softly into view; f23.5 at last a hint of smoke begins to unravel and sits beautifully, almost Highland Park style, with the oaked honey; the rye ensures a rigidity is maintained as spices form; b23.5 an enchanting, hugely complex dram... the sort of thing I conjure up in my tasting room every day, in fact, by mixing differing whisky styles from around the world.
