Nose

Sharp lemon drops are blunted by caramel but the fruity, lime-zest freshness is appealing and intense.

Palate

Immediate fruitiness; very chewy malty middle with some bitter oak. The caramel slowly dulls everything.

Finish

Again, the caramel dominates. Flat, uninteresting, lacks length and depth.

Comment

Starts brightly enough but the caramel character prevents the whisky taking off.
