N: off the rip this has a wonderful and delicate nose, malted barley, bright crisp fruits, pear, honey crisp apple, honeysuckle, gentle floral notes of carnations or white roses, the grassy sweetness of a floral meadow, hint of citrus creeps through after a few moments. A little water brings out more sweet fruits, a little zest of lemon perhaps, honeyed granola. T: gentle and clean, light sugary spun sweetness, touch of mineral water, transitions to darker sweetness of light brown sugar and malt, wonderful mix of a floral and white pepperiness, medium finish that quite enjoyable. Water gives the finish a neat herbal note mixed with a floral touch, oak barrel comes out more. For those that like to pick apart a good scotch, this one should fit the bill. Complicated enough and a little different from of the others. It really is a refreshing take on scotch but yet stays within the classic realms of the traditional scotch profile you’d expect. I enjoyed this one very much.
