77
- Nose
- Biscuity, buttery. Apple jelly. Like walking in an orchard in September and stamping on fruit fallen from the tree, dried leaves and wet grass.
- Palate
- Oily, thick, very sweet. Autumn fruit syrup. Apples, a touch of quince. Wood well integrated.
- Finish
- Sweet, with a slight dry spiciness. Some nuttiness maybe.
- Comment
- A very gentle and fruity whisky. Would have benefited from a balancing dryness.
75
- Nose
- Broad. Dried mango, light cereal, furniture polish. Very soft and fruity. Slightly dulled by water.
- Palate
- Macadamia nut and cooked apple, toasted almond and then into black fruit.
- Finish
- Dries suddenly.
- Comment
- Starts out as a great big floppy labrador of a whisky, then there's an abrupt change in gear towards the finish.
