67
- Nose
- Has to be coaxed out, but eventually ripe red apples, followed by gentle red fruit tartness.
- Palate
- Assaults the palate. Creamy but bitter. Everton mints. Sweeter with water. Popcorn?
- Finish
- Oily, alcoholic, with fennel or even aniseed notes. Slightly phenolic with water.
- Comment
- A reticent nose is completely eclipsed by a huge but uncomplicated palate. Benefits greatly from water.
87
- Nose
- Fruity, with apples and fresh peaches. Something vaguely minty, like Mojo sweets or mint toffees. Grassy, with vanilla in the background too.
- Palate
- Was expecting more sweetness, but there is a balancing bitterness along with the toffee, mint and grass.
- Finish
- Brown toast and biscuits.
- Comment
- A typical and classic aged Speyside, which still has balance between spirit and wood.
