Loch Lomond Single Grain

Clean, vanilla nose with citrus notes

Nose: Citrus, fruity, kids' sweets, sweet, grassy, grainy Palate: 'Hot' and a little oak spice. Sweet and tropical fruit. Pastry, vanilla, dark chocolate. Wisps of char smoke. Finish: Short finish. Citrus and orange. Light spiciness on the aftertaste. Sweet, 'hot', unrefined, but not particularly unpleasant for it. Pub whisky - a bit 'meh', but OK. I tried this back-to-back with a dram of Spearhead. The Spearhead has a more mature (if still 'meh') flavour profile. Spearhead is made on the same stills, using the same ingredients, but a different cut and barrel management approach. Interesting to see the difference.

Fruity, rich, apple, sour sweet, light

Nose is apple pie with hints of vanilla Palate is light sweet and fruity Finish is medium with an interesting hint of smoke.
