Taster

Nose: Do we have a time traveller in our midst? This reminds me of old White Horse from the early 80s; slightly bitter caramel, but tempered with a lovely waft of floral smoke and vanilla custard tarts \nwith nutmeg. \n

Palate: Another nutty one: hazelnuts, some salted peanut notes, cream soda, caramel and fresh butter. \n

Finish: A little short, but sweet nonetheless.\n

Comment: Someone’s been behind the wheel of the Delorean here. Either that or they have put something very interesting together.

Score: 8.4

Taster

Nose: Gritty wood spices and no shortage of tannins, malt, barley and balancing creamy oak. The aromas are showing some maturity with an almost Armagnac-esque character and with time some lovely, dusty coffee notes.

Palate: A lovely melange of juicy barley, honey and light oxidation notes. Again the oak is mature and dusty with a touch of coffee and herbs. Seriously deep with a developing minerality.

Finish: Long and very stony with lingering herbal notes.

Comment: A beautiful, mature whisky.
