Taster

Nose: Initially malty, becoming rounded and buttery with water. There's olde English marmalade, delicate woodsmoke wood shavings, log, cigar ash.

Palate: Lightly perfumed and quite sweet. Orange peel, stewed apricot, tinned prune and aromatic smoke. Long and smooth.

Finish: Dry, ash-like.

Comment: A good introductory malt.

Score: 7.8
