The "1561" in the name is a reference to Mary Queen of Scots, whom the brand is named after.   Nose: Creamy with vanilla and caramel aplenty, followed by a touch of old leather.Palate: Citrus starts to pick up on the palate, alongside malty vanillas and a waft of wood smoke.Finish: Long and quite spicy with cinnamon sticks.
