Single malt - Speyside
Orange gold
46% ABV
Dram

Nose: Cinder toffee, black tea, vanilla, orange peel, white pepper, nutmeg. 
Mouthfeel: Medium body, syrupy, sticky, cool. 
Tasting:  Bitter sweet. Black tea, cinder toffee, white grapes, butterscotch, raisins, hints of allspice. 
Finish: Medium. Cinder toffee, black tea, nutmeg, raisins, white grapes. 

Comments: 

Sweet and sticky, but lots of toffee / butterscotch notes, where I’d expected fruit (it’s matured in white port casks, after all). It’s got a bitter, spicy edge too, that lifts it beyond the ordinary. Quite a pleasant dram. 

Verdict:

I like this.
