Taster

Nose: Almost rum-like: light spirit allied with tropical fruit/melon/zesty notes. Opal fruits and lilac. In time a hint of crystallised ginger. Fades relatively quickly.

Palate: Plenty of (balanced) oaky notes. Quite a thick feel with fresh fruit all the way.

Finish: Just a touch metallic.

Comment: A very pretty whisky.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Fresh, fragrant. Light peatiness. Late hint of sweet seaweediness.

Palate: Complex. Lots of flavour development. Light oily hint of seaweed, passion fruit. Lively interplay of sweetness and saltiness.

Finish: Sweet mustard.

Comment: Savoury. Summery. A picnic malt. Or eating freshly shucked oysters with Jim McEwan.

Score: 9.3
