Taster
Nose: Sweet, light and perfumed: dried flowers, lemon, soft fruits, hazelnut and syrup. Reminiscent somehow of crunchy nut cornflakes.
Palate: Still floral and attractive. There's a hint of lemon meringue pie in the middle, and all very light, sweet and fragrant.
Finish: A little short, but you don't want this style of malt to last forever.
Comment: A lovely sweet, frothy, summery dram.
Score: 7.5
Taster
Nose: Very delicate and fragrant. Wild rose, honeysuckle. Hint of mint. Marshmallow. Earth and grass after summer rain. A spring walk in the country.
Palate: Appetising, rich, fresh. Smooth to begin with. Blossoms with an array of spices. Candied ginger. Mint, liquorice. Vanilla cookies.
Finish: Satisfying, lingering and luscious. Ends on an almond milk note.
Comment: Rich, bonnie and complex. Not showing off, just beaming.
Score: 8.3
