9 years old, distilled 6th December 2007, 61.0% abv, Refill Ex-Bourbon Barrel, 228 bottles, dram price A

The nose has toffee, pear, apple and a hint of hazelnut. The mouthfeel is decent with no cling. The body has toffee, gooey caramel, and apple. The finish is apple and caramel.

Water brings out thin, short-lived whorling that rapidly expands and dissipates. The nose gains passion fruit. The body gains hazelnut and passion fruit. The finish gains passion fruit.

A lovely dram for warm spring days.
