Nose
Fragrant. Orange-zest. Light smokiness. Incense. Touch of sherry. Palate
Light on the tongue. Oily. Emphatically clean fruitiness. Tangerines. Very lively, fresh, flavours. Finish
Like biting into a kumquat. Then a long, fruity glow. Comment
Refreshing and light-hearted. Almost too playful to take seriously.
Jim Murray
Nose
Beautifully intense malt with a cidery-apple fruitiness. Gentle oak and honey round off superbly. Palate
Fresh, almost crisp mouthfeel with outstanding sweet maltiness and an almost Irish pot-still firm fruitiness. Mouthwatering. Finish
Softly spiced with a long, rich malt follow-through. Comment
Really outstanding example of massively complex, classy but undiscovered malt.
