Taster

Nose: Expressive, distinctive, appetising. Orange, apricot, anis.

Palate: Apricot jam on buttered toast.

Finish: Orange juice with a shot of Pernod.

Comment: I think I have discovered a breakfast whisky. They can call it Dallas Dhu. I'll dub it \"Death in the Morning. \"

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Big, creamy and sweet. Plenty of fruit, cocoa, butterscotch, honey and oak. Complex.

Palate: Medium weight but mouthfilling with a punchy, rich middle palate. Sweet, ripe toffee fruits: sultana cake, cinnamon, apple, butterscotch, spicy. Real drive.

Finish: Long, complex, sweet.

Comment: An elegant, sophisticated malt. On this evidence, a real loss to the industry.

Score: 8.5
