I'd wanted to try this ever since I passed the distillery and made my way through the heather-dappled Cairngorms on a rainy August afternoon. Sure enough, on the nose is unmistakeable heather, just as it was rumored, with further aromas of wild flowers, lemon curd, a touch of apple cider, and underlying sweet hay. The palate is malty sweet and full of Manuka honey; nutty, hints of shortbread, and slightly smoky towards the back. Finishing simply and warming mildly, this dram is easygoing and summery. Poured at Brocach on Monroe; paired with Brie curds with raspberry peppercorn jam and lobster bisque with rye croutons. More so 3.5 than 3 stars.
