Taster

Nose: Crisp and grainy with hints of citrus, grass and very subtle oak. With time a little nutty toffee appears along with some honey, earth and fragrant tobacco smoke.

Palate: Soft and toffeed with honey and nuts. Sweeter than the nose and showing a lot more oak character. The crisp grain and lightly oiled dried fruit comes through on the middle to balance. \n

Finish: Long and succulent with the dried fruit lingering and finishing with a little chocolaty tannin and tobacco smoke. \n

Comment: A pleasant grain with good balance and character. Ideal for exploring grain whiskies.

Score: 8.4
