75
- 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.
85
- 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.
