This came in a 3x 50ml taster set. It was on special so it was a good opportunity to see what’s going on with this very modestly priced new range from Loch Lomond. Well... this one falls into the NAS budget malts. You pay for what you get although for the money I would prefer a malt blend like monkey shoulders. Nose: Very light on aroma but the smells that flit into focus are mostly pleasant. Vanilla Blend of fruit juices Very faint second hand cigarette smoke Arrival: Dilute, nothing shows until development Watery There isn’t even a youthful kick There is the odd claim “smoothed to perfection” on the label. It’s not telling lies you could down this bottle without a splutter. Development: Soft here too, A little toffee A little... little! Peaty hint Finish: Barley husk dry Menthol herbal I’m glad I tasted this in a sample bottle. Perhaps a bad move from the marketing placing it in with the 12 and 18.
