EYE
Pale straw
NOSE
Orchard fruit (peaches, pears, dried apples), smoke, malty sweetness, vanilla, honey, minerality and a touch of plastic.
Young, crisp and bracing. It’s a slightly spirity aroma that makes me think “Caol Ila”.
PALATE
Minerality, smoke, dried fruit, lemon peels, vanilla cake and some malty sweetness with a bit of spice.
Like the aroma, there is a spirity nature to it, but it works quite well here. It’s a punchy sharp little whisky.
FINISH
Long -> Smoke, honey, spice and minerality.
BALANCE, BODY and FEEL
Decent balance, med-full body, oily feel.
