Tastes

I tried this following highland park 12. The nose is much less sweet. I got very strong caramel notes and only slight citrus. The pallete has no smoke but a stroke peaty medicinal note. It's also very peppery and spikey. This bottle is obviously nas and its youngness shows on the pallete. The finish is more of the same and very short and light.

The nose is very sweet and the best thing about this scotch. Honey sweetness with slight citrus notes coming through. only a slight smokeyness. The pallete is also very sweet with citrus and tea notes. Slightly floral noted and a very mild smoke. The finish is medium length and very mild.

The nose is great. A slight pungent peat smell with oranges and vanilla cream in the back ground. The pallete is where this comes alive. Its creamy candied fruits which fades quickly into a salty dry finish with just a slight smokiness. I would call the finish an average length which leaves you wanting more. For only a 10 year old scotch I feel like this great dram for the money and one that I enjoy taking my time with.
