Tastes

The complexity and excellence of this malt is outstanding for its price point. The nose opens with a huge sweet honey influence, which gives way to oak, vanilla and sea air. On the palate, there’s chocolate and more oak, before the salinity and citrus notes of this whisky really start to open up on the tongue and finally a peppery spice influence develops. The finish is medium short, but what it lacks in length is more than compensated by incredible complexity. The citrus really plays out in the finish, with the salt staining the tongue; finally you’re left with a chocolate eclair sweetness that develops at the last.

Lovely floral nose. Beautifully balanced flavour, light, sweet herbal notes with some toasted overtones. Medium finish, but does develop into a lingering delicate peppery spice and malt flavour. Overall a well balanced, fresh whisky.
