Tastes

Light and flowery on the nose with a hint of clove. Smooth and soft entry with immediate sweet honey and vanilla with a kick of spices from clove cinnamon and anise. A mild reminder of vanilla mixed in and a short finish. Doesn’t linger much on the palette and very approachable. Worth a try especially if you like speyside and sweeter milder highlands

Good nose with lemon cinnamon, leather and mild oak notes. Palette entry is smooth with orange peel and a rounded feel. Let down entirely by the finish which has an unusually sharp sting for a 21 and a strange late peat on the end which is completely unexpected and not quite in jive with the rest of the profile. The blend crowd will like this a lot more than the single malt folks.

Gentle and inviting nose with mild orange and hint of sweetness . Taste starts with an utterly brilliant round full and soft caress to the tongue with lovely citrus and caramel flavors followed by a neat burn free smooth finish with mild oak. If I must pick on it for something there is a slight lingering taste after the finish which is not as refined as the rest of the experience and hence gives away its age. End of the day it’s right up there at this price point. A must try

Gentle on the nose with reminders of the sea and a mild coastal breeze and grains, good body and rounded taste but lacks complexity and the finish is a let down going completely dark too soon. Curious to see if higher age brings more personality

Leather and wood on nose, coats the mouth with a dry, dull flavor, and a burning finish without flavor isn’t as appealing. Can find better

Mild on nose, pale golden hue in color. Nose has hints of orange peel. A sip Starts off with honey followed by fruity pear honeysuckle with a mild burn at the end and a flat finish and no peat

Hint of citrus on nose, heavier on alcohol than you expect with a hint of peat on finish. A scotch that sums up what the regions can offer without leaning too far into any of them

Light and floral on nose, gentle and smooth with low alcohol bite, sweet on finish. Enjoy neat

Sweet, aromatic and light on finish
