Nose

A nut and berry mish-mash with trademark bourbony candy and vanilla notes.

Palate

Wow! Initially sweet soft plum and orange fruits, then a wave of spearmint and finally apricots. Distinctively bourbon but with some unexpected twists and delicate flourishes.

Finish

Alcoholic apricot juice with a touch of chilli.

Comment

The campaign for more grain whisky is growing momentum. This amply demonstrates why.
