I want to come back and correct my previous review. Not sure if this just needed to open up. I remember previously I didn’t get much flavor or scent, but this time it’s much different. It has a very clean scent, remind me of Japanese whiskies. It’s got a young vegetal note, a bit savory on top of being somewhat sweet. I get fruits, grass and non-roasted nuts. On the palette it’s quite smooth and it has sweet and savory notes to it. It’s also gotten a smooth finish. Not sour, but delicate and bright. I am glad I gave it another go. Quite a fan now. Ohh yes it’s also a bit Smokey, but very shuttle. This stand on its feet after I had the ardbeg 10.

I got caught out like this a few times with neck pours. Its older brother is one of four constituent malts in Johnnie Walker Green 15YO, a great blended malt to try if you get the chance.
