- Nose
- Malty. Fruit and fibre cereals. A touch of burnt applewood. Strawberry yoghurt. An intriguing floral note (wild rose?).
- Palate
- Sweet with a sour touch. Smooth, refreshing. With a wave of liquorice dying out on a spicy fringe. A hint of yeasty wash behind.
- Finish
- Medium, tangy, dusty. A nutty aftertaste.
- Comment
- Seems to have stored all the ingredients for a healthy breakfast. A morning dram? Quite inviting.

- Nose
- Very sweet, almost liqueur like with a green fruit note underneath: unripe plum mixed with kumquat and a sweet syrup note. Very creamy.
- Palate
- Big impact. Tingling alcohol. Some herbal notes. Gentle and clean with a hint of smoke.
- Finish
- Long, full and clean.
- Comment
- As a blend of Scottish and Irish whiskies this is certainly atypical, but it works well.
