A tender golden olive colour. A striking chemical aroma of insecticides with bright tones of stinky hard swiss cheese. Also something wet like a dump fabric plus some coconut (lol) and a little of peat. Well, it does not differ much from Loch Lomond Reserve blend as concerns its fundamnetal structure. But as far as it is single malt the typical grain/spiritous notes are absent here. The taste contains a subtle smokiness and peat, some citruses (oranges mainly or even orange juice) and apples + some spices. It's sweet and bitter in equal measure what makes the taste remarkable but not very pleasant. Aftertaste is bitter with some medicinal notes, but again sweet on the edges of the tongue. Looking at the Loch Lomond distillery it makes me wonder whether these guys are either underrated or overrated as, on the one hand, guys do an amazing job in reestablishing the brand and offer a highly diverse range of whiskies, however and, broadly speaking, therefore we get a problem of a materialistic kind - are they able to evolve through the experiments and create something truly epic despite the fact that the production capacities are very high what makes it possible to stop right there and right now and not evolve at all.
