Sans A feminine, middle-weight Highlander with a slightly floral edge. The aromas include poached orchard fruits (apples, pears), whipped cream, cinnamon and oak shavings, all echoed in the mouth. Biscuity malt runs into a lightly honeyed, waxy, warming finish with late fruity dark chocolate. A crowd pleaser, though none the worse for that. Can take a dash of water to further soften the edges, but it’s not essential. 55.9% Alc./Vol. 233 bottles from a Bourbon barrel. Non chill filtered.
