Approachable - even amiable - but with some substance. Wintery flavours that are warming without being challenging.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: A hint of fruit (apricot?), then creamy, with some peaty dryness. Appetising. Fresh.

Palate: Lightly fudgy and nutty.

Finish: A late balancing dryness and a surprising surge of spiciness. Reminiscent of cinnamon, then gingery.

Comment: Approachable - even amiable - but with some substance. Wintery flavours that are warming without being challenging.

Score: 7.3

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fruity and lightly honeyed. A mix of butterscotch, fruit scone, heather, hazelnut with a wisp of smoke. Slight greenish note.

Palate: Light to medium bodied that starts with spices and orange peel then some honeyed fruit and a little smoke.

Finish: Dry and biscuity.

Comment: Well-made, attractive. Lacks complexity but a decent dram.

Score: 7.5
