Nose: A big, deep nose of caramalised sugar, rich toffee, espresso, dates and dried orange.

Palate: The sherry influence becomes more and more apparent as grandiose brandy soaked fruitcake fills the mouth with winter spices and dark chocolate following.

Finish: Mixed nuts, raisins, coffee beans and oats, a soft finish that keeps on hanging.

Overall: Royal Salute know how to make a rich and complex blend, and the Hundred Cask Selection is no exception. If you like your Christmas cake whiskies, this is one for you.
