Nutty. Cereal grain. Light, fresh, peat.
Palate
Creamy richness. Some toffee. Sweetish dried grass.
Finish
Grassy. Toasted marshmallows. Faintly Kirsch-like fruitiness.
Comment
A newish distillery, so this whisky is still on the young side, but I like its old-fashioned grassy-peaty flavours.

Slightly feinty but much cleaner than some recent bottlings. Distinct barley sugar sweetness and caramel soften the blow and even make for an attractive aroma.
Palate
Extremely sweet and rich at first. There is a form of refined pepperiness new to the proceedings which compliments an intense, brown sugared maltiness. Enjoyably chewy.
Finish
Rather more bitter with some vanilla oakiness. Still malty and latterly toasty.
