Style: Single Malt
Country: Scotland
Region: Lowland
Overall
Score
7.0
Nose
Over-aged, sappy and astringent oak redeemed by bourbony sweetness and by an undertone of amazingly fresh barley.
Palate
Excellent, oily maltiness at first. The middle is an oaky mess.
Finish
Dries too harshly. Long, tapering finish saved by late and enjoyable complexity.
Comment
Struggles to find a rhythm. Lowlanders weren't built to last to this age. Nevertheless, it has its delightful moments. Best at full strength and at about 46%.
