Onlone tasting notes for reference:

Nose:
Notes of orange marmalade and soft oak tannins go hand-in-hand with vanilla yoghurt, coconut milk, crme brle and meringue. Quite juicy and sweet. Some stewed apples, honey and cinnamon-sprinkled apple compote too, but also some overripe bananas.

Palate:
So, pretty juicy and fruity with plenty of sweeter notes on the arrival. Sprinkles of coconut shavings with plenty of pomelo and bitter pink grapefruit, as well as lemon pith and varnish. Also a minty/cough-syrupy note usually only found in Irish single pot still whiskey.

Finish:
Somewhat spicy, tannic and drying. Hints of tobacco and white pepper. Finally some citrus fruits.
