- Nose
- Fruity sourness. Cider apple. Ripe apricot. Vanilla cream biscuits. Fresh saw. Sappy. Beeswax. A floral touch. Gillyflower.
- Palate
- Round and mellow. Oak frames the fruity flavours. Light spices. Enticing.
- Finish
- Medium, sweet with a fresh bitter edge. Nutty.
- Comment
- A rich grain whisky on the fruity side. Interesting.
77
- Nose
- Appealing, complex and broad becoming honeyed with fudge/tablet, cream and BIG vanilla toffee notes. Herbal as well, with some fresh pineapple and pear. Water firms the oak up.
- Palate
- Very smooth and rounded but given balancing grip from the oak. Fudge, tangerine, zest. Touch of firm grain on the sides. It then drifts into smooth toffee once more.
- Finish
- Lush long and ripe. Macaroon bars.
- Comment
- Best on its own or one cube of ice.
