Tasting Notes
"Highland Scotches tend to be rich, floral, pine foresty and slightly smoky (not peaty or rubbery, but more like a whiff of pipe tobacco or clove cigarette.) This one is a bit thin in weight than usual. It does have those pinecone and cedar notes, and what many whisky writers describe as "heather" (think the purple flowers in a dried potpourri). There is some toffee and caramel, but the floral scents overwhelm the golden fruits trying to elbow their way in on the palate. Definitely missing some heft. Finishes a little hot. Sipping this, can picture Grounds Keeper Willy from the Simpsons saying "Och!" in mild disappointment."
