(Good Spirits Company, Glasgow. Virtual Whisky Tasting Saturday 25th July 2020).
Nose: Coffee, sultanas, toffee, salt
Palate: Green apples, raisins, salt, caramel, mineral oil
Finish: Medium long finish, more of the fruit and raisins with some added salt and pepper. Smooth and chocolatey aftertaste.
This is a very nice whisky. It is more of a sipper than a session whisky, but it sits somewhere in between for me. It has a lovely creamy mouthfeel and a nice body to it that is missing in the 12y/o. I still miss the 17y/o which was retired from the range a few years ago, but I think this is the standout of their standard range (although the NAS Huddart is also very good).
I had tasted this at an Old Pultney tasting back in 4th June 2019 at DRAM! Glasgow. I liked it enough to buy a bottle then, and I recently bought another to replace the one I'd finished.
Out of the 6 drams on the tasting, this achieved 0% of the vote for favourite which made it dead last, but the common consensus was that all 6 were really too close to call. I put this a very close second.
