Comment: This little-known malt almost always surprises me with its robust flavours.

Score: 7.5

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: A feather-light, deft aroma boasting a subtle but curious guava fruitiness.

Palate: A composed and delicious maltiness gains hold for the most intense of crescendos. The climax is almost erotic.

Finish: A long, oak-rich afterglow.

Comment: Do whiskies get any sexier than this? An essay in balance and complexity for its age that teases and tantalises the taste buds mercilessly. Outstanding: truly awesome!!

Score: 8.5
