Taster

Nose: Floral notes predominate here, orange blossom and there’s just a hint of tropical pineapple.\n

Palate: Quite a hot, fiery palate. A little water might not go amiss. There’s some dry, oaky spice too, but counterbalanced nicely by some sweeter notes of dried apricot.

Finish: Long and sweet with some woody notes coming in at the last.

Comment: Don’t let this whisky’s pale straw colour deceive – this is a lively, assertive, fresh-tasting dram whose flavours linger pleasingly on the palate.

Score: 8.5
