It's lighter on the tongue though and morphs into a dessert whisky with peaches, meringue, and vanilla riding that delightful Glenrothes Tootsie Roll taste.
More confident berry notes on the palate, with a hint of cloves, then developing licorice, dark chocolate, and tangerine. The finish is spicy, with aniseed.
Light, easy going, not terribly complex but certainly enjoyable. It's not as dense or chewy as you might expect from its sherry-centric cask program, but its pleasantly fruity tones and silky texture are certainly appealing.
