ABV 40%
Approachable - even amiable - but with some substance. Wintery flavours that are warming without being challenging.

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
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
