Taster
Nose: Very clean nose: the oak is minimal with honeyed-grassy malt. Beguiling.
Palate: A fabulous, honey-sweet infusion of tender malty notes do take on a waxy middle.
Finish: Bitter-sweet and still waxy with mounting vanilla and even a late hint of cocoa.
Comment: By no means the most complex whisky on the market, but unquestionably one of the most elegant and charming.
Score: 7.8
