This highland distillery has the distinction of being the highest distillery in Scotland. I had high hopes for this whisky after seeing some good reviews. This whisky is bottled at 43% ABV and is a very light gold/straw color in the glass. It produces sparse legs. The nose is very light, really too light for my taste, with floral and citrus notes. It's a little hot for an 86 proof 15 yr old. After a while in the glass there were cereal notes like oatmeal with brown sugar which was a welcome change after the initial light nose. The palate was very mild as well with honey and some light smoky vanilla. The finish was short and dry with a light smoky tone. Overall this was pretty disappointing to me. Flavors were very light with not much complexity. Some might find this right up their alley but not me. Glad it was just a sample. 3.5/5. Cheers!
