Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Light, despite a charming smokiness. Incredibly clean. A soft citric background reveals young age.

Palate: Intensely malty, fresh with increasing sweetness as the kippery peatiness gathers.

Finish: Echoing smoke and a delicious build up of cocoa notes. Long. Toasty. Highly satisfying with almost perfect bittersweet balance.

Comment: Easily one of the best 8 Years Old on the market: very, very impressive and enjoyable.

Score: 8.8

Taster

Nose: Autumn leaves. Grass. Peat smoke.

Palate: Picnic flapjack, slightly burnt at the edges. Nutty. Gingery. Lively flavours.

Finish: Honey. Cream. Some peat.

Comment: I love the peaty, burnt notes notes in this robustly malty whisky.

Score: 7.8
