Taster Sara Smith
Nose: Young, green wood, honey, marzipan, the pepperiness of rocket, and a dry, smooth note that reminds me of fresh, uncooked pasta.
Palate: Grain, puffed rice, and lovely warm, spiced honey. Well-integrated flavours, lots of good cereal notes. This is warming and dry, although the honey notes suggest a sweetness that isn’t felt on the palate.
Finish: Lovely dry notes of wood, honey, and vanilla, that combine to form a note of amaretti biscuit.
Comment: A high strength whisky with a building warmth, but no burn. A fine array of indulgent flavours, but is thankfully not too rich.
