Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Newsprint, gentle smoke, caramel, ginger and a hint of fish oil.

Finish: Sweet and smoky, warming and very spicy.

Comment: Nicely balanced, not overly complex.

Score: 8.1

Joe Bates

Taster

Nose: Complex aromas here: soft peat smoke, warming spices and dried fruits combining wonderfully together.

Palate: An initial burst of vanilla toffee sweetness, backed up with dried pineapple.

Finish: Sweet and smoky finish.

Comment: Einar was some warrior by all accounts and this namesake whisky is certainly not shy in coming forward in terms of bright, bold flavours.

Score: 8.4
