Reviewed
July 10, 2018 (edited September 25, 2019)
Nose - Light, apples, dark honey, pomelo, light subtle spice, peach/nectarines.
Taste - Fresh apple, hint of pear, peach, pomelo pith, light white pepper tingle, hint of tea bitterness, honey.
Finish - Lingering tea bitterness, floral fruit, honeyed apple, light lingering spice.
Score - 86/100
Final Thoughts - Very pleasant dram, nice balance of floral & fruit, not overly complex but does its job well. Feels very summery and feels like it'd be great in a highball. This seems like it'd be a good "intro" Scotch for people too as there's nothing really offensive about it, easy to sip, might be a bit "spicy" for some palates, but some water should tame it out.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - Yes, if price is right
Would I buy a bottle? - Maybe, I'd pay up to $70 USD for a bottle
