Taster

Nose: Buttercups, grass, currants and Turkish Delight. Metal and bubblebath notes became more apparent with water.

Palate: Christmas cake, with raisins and glacé cherries.

Finish: A light meatiness, like baked gammon.

Comment: Bags of cask character, and fine if you find finishes fun.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Quite sweet. Barley sugar, then sultana/fruit loaf, hay, spices being sauteed in butter, crisp oak.

Palate: Medium-bodied and fairly intense, high concentration of sweet fruits, yet slightly firmer than you expect from the nose. Well balanced.

Finish: Fine length. Dried peels/fruits. Tingling.

Comment: Well balanced and with more weight and substance than you might normally expect from this distillery. A good dram.

Score: 7.8
