82- Nose
- Evocative. Sweetshops. Mint. Liquorice.
- Palate
- Sherryish. Smooth Malty. Nutty. Creamy. Very gentle oily smokiness.
- Finish
- Firm. Toasty balancing dryness. Hint of salty coastal whisky. Again, all very restrained.
- Comment
- The Grouse enthusiast who tastes this vatted version will be seduced by it. The aromas and flavours suggest malts from the company's own distilleries – and perhaps a little more Highland Park than last year?
Dave Broom
87- Nose
- Attractive, fragrant with honeyed depth: notes of heather, gorse/coconut, madeira cake, honey, cinnamon and some grassy and smoky touches.
- Palate
- Slightly dry start then it softens mid-palate where all that honeyed, cakey, ripe fruitiness reappears. Good mouthfeel and balance.
- Finish
- Ripe silky and sweet.
- Comment
- Discreetly complex but go easy on the water. It's easily drowned.
