The nose is light and immediate, with citrus backed by rich, creamy toffee and grainy cereals. It is fragrant and herbal too, with a perfumed top note joined by more detailed maltiness, with barley sugar and subtle peat. On the palate it is smooth textured at full strength; sweet overall, with fresh acidity and a saltiness unusual in Dailuaine, which develops as a drying, cough-candy note deepening into dense and spicy dark chocolate-coated ginger.
