Taster

Nose: Fresh, lightly fruity (roasted peppers?). A hint of charcoal.

Palate: Creamy. Polenta-like. Sweet, appetising.

Finish: A hint of lemon.

Comment: Someone knows what they are doing. Who would have thought grain whisky could taste so good?

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Soft and creamy but with good intensity. Ripe, elegant and lush with wild strawberry, Milky Bar (white chocolate) and Butterkist popcorn. Sexy.

Palate: Soft, silky and chewy, with a spicy lift and touch of ripe cherry.

Finish: Fragrant. The chocolate comes back with some mint and cream.

Comment: THIS is innovation at work in whisky.

Score: 8.5
