Taster

Nose: Grassy and malty. Camomile. Malt flour. Butterscotch. Chestnut purée.

Palate: Oily and rich. Coats the palate. A faint sweetness then a spicy kick. The alcohol bites the tongue. Aniseed. Fennel and a touch of mint.

Finish: Warm. spicy. dry.

Comment: That whisky definitely needs water to cut the edges. Incredibly oily. With\ra good dash of water, refreshing and invigorating.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Clotted cream kicks off a very complex nose. A little nutty with some malt\rnotes. Almost a green feel to it, a grass edge, dried herbs.

Palate: Thick and coating. The creamy notes come through with a poached pear\rand custard edge.

Finish: Sweet and dry.

Comment: Great nose but it does not follow through. That said a very restorative\rdram for cold nights.

Score: 8
