Taster

Nose: Charming mellow, but slightly exotic nose; fenugreek, coconut/gorse with vanilla, orange, pears and apple blossom.

Palate: Very soft and clean with a zesty tangerine/orange peel touch and a delicious hazelnut/almond crunch in the centre.

Finish: Soft and juicy.

Comment: A superbly balanced blend. You can't fail to love it.

Score: 9

Taster

Nose: Sweet limes. Leafy. Cypress or sandalwood.

Palate: Marshmallow maltiness, rose-water, then cedary, briar-like dryness. A remarkable integration of sensuousness and severity.

Finish: Joss-stick smokiness.

Comment: Demanding and stern. Take some time to understand it. A complex whisky as it reveals its secrets.

Score: 8.5
