This integrity malt (non chill filtered and natural colour) from master distiller Billy Walker has been on my wishlist for some time. It is beautifully coloured (almost mahogany) and is distinctly oily. Nose - The nose is interesting and has notes of sherry, dates, figs, walnuts, baking spices, brown sugar, marzipan, honey and vanilla. This suggests that quality casks have been used to create this whisky. Palate - Especially sweet and sour, where the notes of apple cider, dates, sultanas and sherry are most prominent. Not too pungeant, which makes it possible to keep this whisky in your mouth for a long time. Finish - Medium long, sweet and fruity, with enough spice to make you long for the next sip. It is clear that this whisky was given time to slumber and mature. It’s not a record breaker by any means, just a good solid delicious whisky and a nice addition to my collection. "Excellent" : 4 stars | Really quite exceptional.
