Taster
Nose: Light beeswax and polished tables give way to a sweet herbal edge. Honey roasted nuts and creamy fudge, tablet. Lemon shortbread.
Palate: Very gentle with soft fleshed fruits, apple pie and peach cobbler. Fruit malt loaf. There is a lemon zest freshness to this as well.
Finish: Big and lush.
Comment: A great pre dinner dram, a talkative whisky for sure.
Score: 8.5
