Banana cream pie, orange peel, crusty bread on the nose. Juicy tropical entry on the palate, sugar cookies, some grapefruit bitterness. Quick finish, on the dry side.

Very fruity. Pineapple like. Some spice I can’t identify. Not sure I agree with the fullness, peat, and oil description by distiller.com. Overall, a good single malt, but wears a little thin on me after a while.

sweet citrus-y palate, nice long finish

At Nigels Poulton

Nose: sweet, ashy/soot, fruity Palate: smooth and thick mouthfeel, fruity, sweet, just a hint of the same ashy/soot that was on the nose Finish: medium long finish, malt, a little bit of spice, sweet, still a lingering of the ashy/soot note. A very unique scotch. Both smooth and complex. There is a flavor here I have not noticed in any of the other scotches I’ve had up to this point. It does not taste like peat but maybe it’s a different type of peat? Very pleasant and definitely worth trying and worth the price.

Good malt. Sweet, citrus, fruit, honey, fresh, bright, clean, slightly sharp. Good value though.
