Tasting Notes

Joel Harrison

Taster

Nose: Bags of luscious vanilla, white flowers, pineapple juice and green apples completing a very inviting nose, which is enhanced with a drizzle of water.\n

Palate: Smooth and soft on the palate, there are hints of oak, vanilla and some tinned tropical fruits in syrup. It is unctuous and tasty, with some sherbet notes.\n

Finish: Medium in length, there are some good yellow fruit flavours and a hint of oak spice.\n

Comment: Light and easy drinking, this is a summery dram which would be perfect over ice.

Score: 8.8

Chris Goodrum

Taster

Nose: Youthful, fresh and delightfully citric. Subtly herbal with hints of fragrant honey and underlying malt and vanilla oak.

Palate: A little weightier with more barley and milky oak. Still pleasantly citric on the middle with fleshy apricot, pineapple, grass and sweet vanilla. \n

Finish: Long and remaining citric with hints of gooseberry, greengage, lime and subtle oak. \n

Comment: An utterly charming, classic, light Spey. A perfect dram for a warm summer’s day!

Score: 9.1
