Taster
Nose: Gentle and delicate, with pear drops and developing caramel.
Palate: Smooth, with soft fruit, white pepper and oak.
Finish: Oakiness continues. Quite short, with a sprinkling of white pepper.
Comment: A little too short in the finish.
Score: 7.2
Taster
Nose: Somewhat light and summery on the nose with herbal aromas, lemon and honey vying for attention.
Palate: An initial rush of vanilla and honey, drying quickly with some toasted spices and drying oak.
Finish: Long, dry and some spice.
Comment: All in all very moreish whisky with some oaky bite adding a bit of oomph. Really rather good.
Score: 8.8
