A distinctive and enjoyable vatting. Dexterous interplay of the Speyside aromas and flavours. Seductive. Dangerously drinkable.

Michael Jackson

Nose: Mints being consumed in a leather armchair.

Palate: Scentily smoky. Heather honey. Brambles. Blackcurrant. Slight wood. Scenty smoke. Dry

Finish: Firm, digestive.

Comment: A distinctive and enjoyable vatting. Dexterous interplay of the Speyside aromas and flavours. Seductive. Dangerously drinkable.

Score: 8.5

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: A fruity nose, grape and smoke notes.

Palate: Firm body with oaky centre which starts vanilla-sweet but bitter-out.

Finish: Quite dry and even a little smoky. The fruit remains but time has dulled specific notes. Some malt does fight through.

Comment: A much subtler dram than it first appears that thoroughly rewards regular investigation. Tasty and teasing.

Score: 8
