ABV 43%
A pleasant dram, definitely on the sweet side. The nose is more appealing than the palate.

Nose: Fragrant. Cereal and fruity. Cooked apples and pears. A biscuity note. Appetising. With water, a floral touch.
Palate: Smooth. Almost syrupy. Sweet. Apple jelly. Slightly watery at mid palate.
Finish: Dry with a liquorice root note.
Comment: A pleasant dram, definitely on the sweet side. The nose is more appealing than the palate.
Score: 7.5
Taster
Nose: Bags of sweetness here akin to apple pie – a mix of malty pastry and flowery apples.
Palate: The sweetness is complemented with a spiced note.The fruity note is still here too.
Finish: Drying and morish.
Comment: A decent example of a grain whisky. One to watch.
Score: 7.8
