Non-chillfiltered and quite potent, this single malt smacks you upside the head to notice its character. A beautiful amber (not certain if colour is added), slender but slow legs. Shnoz: Grassy and fresh with a delayed ethanol kiss, faint heather. Buds: Dessert honeyed pears and flambéd peaches, big heathery and pungent maltiness, a tad creamy too. Coda: Lingering malt and heather with a dried fruit (fig?) pop. Fairly lasting I'd say. The 48% surely accentuates all the flavour you will perceive- which is much appreciated. This humble distillery with old roots that has changed hands several times stays true to their heritage and delivers an exceptional taste of what a Highland malt should evoke. It's scarce up in these parts so I snatch what I can and savour patiently til more would arrive!
