Great first impression with burnt orange peels, cedarwood and apricot on the nose, reminiscent of a fine French brandy. The palate is held together mostly by a pleasent oak spice (nutmeg), dried fruit and hint of walnuts. Lightly spiced finish. Really enjoyable.

@Soba45 : This is really impressive stuff and I'm not a fan of Lowland whiskys either. Just the smell blew me away. I have my brother @Cask Strength Joe to thank for the sample (purchased from The Whisky Exchange).
Good to hear. Missed out in tasting this a while back but managed to get a MoM sample recently so looking forward to trying based on your review. Haven't been a fan of the distillery to date but the name alone made me think I have to see what a blood orange named whiskey tastes like :-)
