I was put off by that sour/acidic vinegar note that seemed like a clear fault.

Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Estery, with melon, pear drops and ripe bananas. Meadow flower, varnish and something lightly chemical (sorry, couldn't put my finger on it). With water it turns like hot, dusty radiators, and turned a little acidic with a distinct whiff of vinegar.

Palate: Fruity, slightly peaty and woody. A little thin.

Finish: More woody bitterness.

Comment: I was put off by that sour/acidic vinegar note that seemed like a clear fault.

Score: 6.8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Young and spirity. Faintly citric freshness above a malty, biscuity base.

Palate: Crisp. Sweet. Minty.

Finish: Eucalyptus. Fresh and appetising.

Comment: A refreshing young whisky that would make a great aperitif when neat, or mixed in a classic Manhattan.

Score: 8
