Tasting Notes

Phoebe Calver

Taster

Nose: Intriguing, with lemongrass cordial at first, followed by juicy nectarines and a hint of anise that cuts through.

Palate: Things mellow out somewhat, with crunchy nut cornflakes, fresh barley, pear and almond upside-down cake and some prickly ginger heat.

Finish: There’s the prickle of spice still, but it mellows out quickly.

Comment: An interesting flavour journey – not what I was expecting, but full of intrigue and complexity.

Score: 8.1

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Desiccated coconut, marshmallow fluff, white chocolate, nectarine, tangerine and strawberry cables. Slightly resinous. Some frosted peach candy rings and sweet malt drink (Horlicks) notes, too.

Palate: Light bodied, but somewhat oily. Eve’s pudding and golden syrup-soaked sponge. Dried pineapple and sultana, with a subtle perfumed element.

Finish: Delicate nuttiness builds for a medium-length finish.

Comment: An elegant and wellintegrated Highlander.

Score: 8
