Taster

Nose: Fruity and nutty. Ripe fruit. Dry almonds. White grapes. Gooseberry. Kiwi. Delicate and elegant. Getting floral. Freesia. A hint of new leather. Fresh and lively. With water, crab apple.

Palate: Smooth and sweet. Silky texture. The same fruity profile. Syllabub. Drying on a gingery note.

Finish: Clean, dry with an almond aftertaste.

Comment: A well-balanced enticing whisky. Like a walk in a summer garden.

Score: 8.4

Taster

Nose: Really elegant and floral at first. Opening the door to a florist’s shop, peony, rose and lilac come in waves. Lots of fruit too, green apple and poached pears.

Palate: Fresh and sweet. Plenty of fruit here as well, tinned peaches, strawberry sorbet. A little spiced note at the end, cinnamon and ginger snap biscuits.

Finish: Fresh and short.

Comment: A really well put together dram, nicely thought out.

Score: 8.3
