    Deep Raisin and Peach… it’s a peach!

    The nose is of raisins and peach, but light with it, sweet nutty start deepening to warmer sweet notes of vanilla and a long satisfying finish of fruity plum pudding.

    An absolutely delicious treat, especially if you like a sweeter sherry cask whisky. Love it!
