Taster

Nose: Fresh tobacco leaves, hay barns, lemon verbena tea. A slight apothecary note to it, drying herbs and a little spice.

Palate: Sweet and a little bitterness, orange marmalade, runny honey. A lemon\rcitrus note and then dusty spices, ginger, nutmeg.

Finish: Dries quickly.

Comment: Very held back, but in time slowly reveals delicate layers of flavour.

Score: 7.4

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Light and restrained. Grassy. Drying hay. Meadow flowers. Lemon balm. A\rhint of chicken broth.

Palate: Silky, delicate. Sweet orange blossom honey. Tangerine . Refreshing and soft on the palate. Elderflower cordial. Drying on spicy ginger. Minty with\rwater.

Finish: Dry and short.

Comment: This whisky is a 'whispering' one. Delicate, elegant but maybe a bit shy.

Score: 7.7
