85- Nose
- Slight nutty sherry. Dried citrus skins. Sweet grass.
- Palate
- Orange zest, lemons, faint syrup. Cream. Honey.
- Finish
- Orange zest. Gently gingery balancing dryness.
- Comment
- The light touch of sherry helps bring out the soft, fruity, flavours.
Jim Murray
60- Nose
- Sharp lemon drops are blunted by caramel but the fruity, lime-zest freshness is appealing and intense.
- Palate
- Immediate fruitiness; very chewy malty middle with some bitter oak. The caramel slowly dulls everything.
- Finish
- Again, the caramel dominates. Flat, uninteresting, lacks length and depth.
- Comment
- Starts brightly enough but the caramel character prevents the whisky taking off.
