Finish: Fragrant spicy dryness.

Comment: I always enjoy this whisky, even though it is not the most typical of Lowlanders.

Score: 7.5

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Thin and spirity. Exceptionally malty and reminiscent of boiled barley-sugar candy.

Palate: Sweet, grassy-sharp and mouthwatering. Dominant malt, a hint of banana and custard.

Finish: Intense vanilla and caramel with rich oaky tones and a delicate hint of smoke. Slightly bitter at finish.

Comment: One of the better samples I've tasted recently. This malt can be temperamental. Delightfully intense but a lack of complexity through the middle disappoints.

Score: 7
