Taster

Nose: Citric, with touches of flowers (freesia, lilac, apple blossom) and light esters: pineapple. Some softer fruits as well. Very clean.

Palate: Better than the nose with real mid palate sweetness. Very spicy: nutmeg, long pepper, alongside some light lemon sherbet. In time it gets slightly richer: coconut and brown sugar.

Finish: Medium length. Soft fruits.

Comment: A session whisky which is better on the palate than the nose.

Score: 7.8
