A well structured whisky. Oak frames the aromatic palette without overpowering. Quite a complex dram.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Fruity. Cider apples. A bit sharp at start but quickly turns biscuity. Sweet vanilla notes. As it opens, the appley character breaks through to lead way to fudgier aromas.

Palate: Thick, oily. Creamy fudge, raisins and milk chocolate. A sensuous spicy wave.

Finish: Lingering, peppery. A bitter oaky edge.

Comment: A well structured whisky. Oak frames the aromatic palette without overpowering. Quite a complex dram.

Score: 8.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Rounded. The first with any extra complexity to it. Plenty of vanilla, butter and a hint of pine. Light spices and sweet citric notes, apricot and banana. Orange peel and zest.

Palate: Very pure flavours. Clean with a mix of nuts and spice from the oak and a sweet spirit. Vanilla cinnamon, pepper spiced apple.

Finish: Vanilla. Very smooth. Medium length. Spicy.

Comment: Another great session drink, this has the sweeter edge. Good distilling. Stylish.

Score: 8
