4.25
4.25 out of 5 stars
Nose: big butter and something more sugary than a vanilla sweetness. A whiff of book pages.
Intro: white pepper and mild peat smoke. A semi-dry medium bodied mouthfeel. A touch of effervescence yet no tart notes or excess salinity.
Mid: subdued dried fruits and clover honey with peat smoke turning ashy
Finish: lingering plum wine, juicy golden raisins, and a botanical bouquet building over seconds into minutes. Almost a gin sensation and more similar to crushing mid-American juniper berries in hand with the sweet sap bark and berry smells.
Overall: Very relaxing and mild with more than enough revelation for an experienced taster to enjoy in a beautifully simple way but to also introduce new whisky drinkers to a dose of complexity, peat, and ample amount of woodspices.
As for imagery the dram conjures: she must be The Fair Maiden - youthful in spirit, a mixture of innocence and experience. A warm countenance. Flowers in her hair. Does she fancy you? Do you fancy her?
