An accessible single malt, and while it’s not phenomenal, I’m more than satisfied by its quality. A sweet, fruity nose gives aromas of red currants, homemade cranberry sauce, and overripe black plum. The palate is sweet as well, with treacle, banana tart tatin, milk chocolate, and boxed raisins carrying it. Interesting notes of fennel frond, sunburnt leather, and smoked sausage show up as well. The raisiny, cherrywood finish is rather syrupy sweet. While smooth, it lacks the depth and power that a slightly higher ABV would remedy. A good bottle to keep around.
