Taster

Nose: A hospital note. Ether even chloroform. Slowly fading away to give way to candy floss, barley sugar, vanilla syrup, demerara sugar caramel. Then a distinct peppery note which balances the sweetness \r

Palate: Sweet and smooth. Burnt caramel, demerara sugar, treacle, raisins in eau-de-vie. Then that peppery touch of the nose comes back with an oaky touch.

Finish: Dry, peppery.

Comment: Once the funny off note has gone, we have a pleasant whisky, not over sweet. Refreshing spicy profile.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Menthol. Eucalyptus gum trees then orange barley water, brown sugar, melting caramel and toffee apples. Roasted capsicum with balsamic vinegar and crushed black peppercorns.

Palate: Bags of sugar, treacle and raisin Danish pastry. A custard note as well. Creamy oak, bread and butter pudding. That roast capsicum sweetness comes through at the end.

Finish: Lush, creamy and oak laden.

Comment: An engaging, intriguing and interesting whisky.

Score: 8.2
