Tastes

Nose: 3,75* White pepper, baked bananas, honey corned flakes, milk chocolate and raisins. Palate: 3,75* Ashy white pepper turns to honey-ed malt, bitter chocolate. Finish: 4* More subtle pepper now, ashes, pretty long and kind of waxy. Peppery is part of it’s character and best embraced. Serve with a small amount of water, too much really drowns out any flavours.

Nose: 4* Inviting, delicate, honey, ripe oranges, subtle sherry Body: 4* Balanced, mellow, watery, vanilla, walnuts, sherry sweetness, fruitiness Finish: 3,75* Medium, slightly citric, bit of woodspice, ripe fruit Best neat. Very pleasant, great balance, quite inoffensive for it's age. Lacks a bit of body. A true speyside classic and one of the first sherry-cask finished malts. This was one of the first bottles of whisky i've bought when starting my journey last year, also one of the first to empty! As a beginner i'd say this whisky was much more approachable than other single malts. I would highly recommend this to anyone getting into single malts.

Nose: 4,5* Polished, Sea salt, marzipan, nespresso coffee steam, peach syrup Palate: 4,25* Lush mouth feel, comes in peppery but not overwhelming, maple syrup and dark coffee beans Finish: 4,5* Four-season pepper mix, elegant smoke, sweet coating, lingers long Fantastic balance, lots of contrasting elements working together beatifully. A very refined coastal whisky, though slighty overpriced.

Nose: 4,25* Fruity, Fresh water burn at a beach, musty wood, citric, salted pretzel crackers, marzipan, dark chocolate Palate: 4,25* Seaweed chips, spicy oak, vanilla Finish: 4* Biscuit, vanilla, dusty smoke, medium long

Nose: 4* Big on malt, spices, vanilla cake, fresh aromatic flowers, salty air Palate: 4* Spicy, full bodies with sweet fruits, salty Finish: 4* Fruity, very much lichee-like, Talisker-smoke, saltiness Very appoachable malt with plenty to explore. A bit toned down overall. Great daily dram.

Nose: 4,25* Cedar wood, sauna herbs, steamy smoke, pine needles, sweet pineapple Palate: 4* Musty wood, warming, fruity, slight smoke, vanilla Finish: 4* Waft of balanced peat, earthy, medium long Beautifully balanced fresh herbs, sweetness and peat.

Nose: 4,25* Sweet, subtle peat layered underneath, salty grilled fish, citric orange Palate: 4* Lighter, oak spices, dark chocolate, cigar smoke, serrano ham Finish: 4,5* Long lasting, spicy wood, ashy, bonfire smoke, honey marinade Elegantly smoked, though not sophisticated. Funky but in the best way possible. Full bodied with a great balance. Finish lasts forever. Fantastic value.

Nose: 4,25* Sea air, salt, tropical fruits, flowers, honey, hint of charcoal, damp-like smoke. Palate: 3,75* Warming, earthy like wet rocks, dusty, salt, fruity, waxy coating. Finish: 4* Fresh, oak, vanilla, dust. Great coastal whisky, requires attention. Best with a drop of water to bring out the nose.
