Tasting Notes
"The nose is very soothing, almost cake-like with a bit pepper, dried fruits and notes of sweet citrus such as mandarin. The palate is full and smooth which is what you might expect from triple distillations, but is completely incomparable to say Auchentoshan which seems quite a bit heavier than this single malt. There’s a touch of ginger and bitter lemon with the finish ending on the dry side, perhaps due to the sherry casks. "
