Nose: juicy peaches, a typical highland honey, light and fruity fresh, smooth and somehow creamy, crispy butter cookies, somewhere in the back is a slight port aroma as well, then a bid buttered warm toast, lemon and raspberry. Later a distinct fresh ground black pepper note. Palate: candy sweet like corn syrup, then slowly some nice aromatic spices push through, also apples, then dark honey and pine resin. In the end a concluding oak wood note. Finish: mild and delicately sweet with a handful of those spices. The palate intensifies over the course of the dram and adds nuances here and there. Surprisingly nice. I didn’t expect too much honestly. I am fairly new to blended whiskies but this one actually is really enjoyable with quite a few interesting facets. It is in the end a bid one-directional and slightly too “highlandy” and sweet for my personal taste but unique for sure. Worth checking out on any case.
