Taster

Nose: Pine needles, bow rosin and sharp green fruits. A little fence post, telegraph pole. Caramel roasted nuts. A little salty, boiled samphire. Orange sherbet and a hint of pepper.

Palate: Fruity, sweet and very clean. More gentle pine and spearmint. Shows a little youth but still balanced. A little smoke at the end.

Finish: Short and crisp.

Comment: Shows some serious promise. Pretty well balanced for a three year old.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Intense, slightly prickly. Smoky and grassy. Bonfire with seaweeds. A whiff of creosote. A sweeter note of pear nectar. Distant hint of tar too.

Palate: Sweet and oily. Very fresh. Mint toffee. Smoke is less present than on the nose. Quite delicate and well integrated.

Finish: Short but clean and sweet. A fruity apple note.

Comment: A stunning achievement for such a young whisky. Don't look for complexity (yet) but you do get the full enjoyment of its character.

Score: 8.5
