Taster

Nose: Relatively reticent. Vanilla and gentle spice.

Palate: Slick, lively spices and a hint of baked apples.

Finish: Tingling spices accompany quite tannic oak.

Comment: The tannic finish is somewhat overstated but still a good finish.

Score: 7.1

Taster

Nose: A gently winey nose at first, but I also detect some tropical scents, with mango especially.

Palate: Quite fiery initially, but then vanilla, toffee and dried fruits take over.

Finish: The finish is medium length, sweet and those dried fruit flavours linger longest.

Comment: A solid, drinkable, everyday whiskey, lacking a little complexity, but very acceptable.

Score: 8.2
