Taster
Nose: Liquorice Allsorts, strawberry laces and ripe kiwi fruit.
Palate: Toffee apples, honey glazed ham and some cloves. Chopped basil and some cinnamon comes in.
Finish: Sweet, honey and nuts.
Comment: Very nice, well balanced and subtle enough for a whiskey of this style.
Score: 7.8
Taster
Nose: Dried hay and meadow flowers, soft toffee, vanilla and camp coffee.
Palate: A grassy, minty note leads, with some vanilla sweetness, Granny Smith apple pieces, and condensed milk, with a squirt of honey.
Finish: Creamy cereals intertwine with a slight sweet white wine note and fresh oak.
Comment: Another whisky of personality. The floral notes aren’t quite as pronounced and succulent as before but there’s plenty going on here to get excited about.
Score: 7.9
