This is called a NAS whisky but the packaging has distillation and bottling years, I can presume that mine is a 5 year old expression. I've seen 7 year bottles in bars though.
This smells its age. Very grassy and green, lemon, ginger, followed by an earthy/spicy quality like cedar. None of the rounded, cakey qualities of older expressions.
Dry entry, black pepper, lemon zest, mineral water, green apples. Finish is clean, herbal, savory.
This is an interesting example of unique qualities that young whisky has. Very bright, astringent, but in an appealing way.

"Great review. My bottle was 6 years based on dates & I discovered quickly that adding a quarter or half teaspoon of water was absolutely mandatory for this whisky to thrive. A great summertime bottle. Cheers"
