Comment: A complex and distinctive malt.

Score: 7.8

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Attractively floral with significan't oak input. Polished floorboards and a scattering of crushed hazelnut: firm to the point of being rock hard.

Palate: Hard and bullet-like from the off with an almost Irish pot still firmness.

Finish: Medium length and remains pretty sharp and crisp.

Comment: Pretty impressive and singular in style. First-rate bittersweet balance.

Score: 8.3
