Tasting notes

Taster Rob Allanson

Nose: Honey-roasted peanuts with a little earthy edge. Eventually you get some lovely soft vanilla and floral notes. Strawberries covered in dark chocolate. Some fresh oak notes here, with sharpened pencils and sawdust.
Palate: Sweet fruitiness arrives, citrus and dried pineapple. Blackberry and mint tea. There is a herbal edge to it; chamomile and some floral notes.
Finish: Sweet, but without being overly clingy and cloying.
Comment: A decent, well put together malt. A perfect go-to dram at the end of the day.

8.7

Taster Lyndsey Gray

Nose: Toasted almonds and pistachios, herbal mint, freshly squeezed grapefruit and swirls of rum ‘n’ raisin fudge running through the centre.
Palate: Well balanced with rich nuttiness, notes of marzipan, roasted pistachios and mahogany, followed by hints of lavender, rosemary, burnt pear skin and sticky rice.
Finish: Short on length, with luscious floral and earthy tones.
Comment: A good all-rounder, with several layers coming through each time.
