THE WORLD'S BEST
BLENDED MALT WHISKY

“Head and shoulders above the rest in this category. A complex mix of oak, smoke and dense toffeed sweetness.”
Dave Broom

“Apple blossom, juicy pears and apples, mingled with fresh grass on the nose. Also a hint of mint. Smooth, delicate and sweet on the palate with a sweet rounded finish. Absolutely charming. Reminiscent of a walk in a Norman orchard bathed in morning dew.”
Martine Nouet

“Rich and inviting nose, with lots of sherried fruits. Rich red fruits and weighty aged malt and wood notes. The finish is lingering and delightful.”
Dominic Roskrow

“Big with lots of ripe fruit, lychees in particular. Some mint and butterscotch increase the complexity. Soft and chewy with some mango character. Very attractive.”
Keir Sword

“Abig whisky with some distinct sherry notes. Japanese whisky at its best.”
Thierry Benitah
