Nose
Hay. Grass. Vegetal. Oily. Waxy, perfumy.
Palate
Firm and smooth. Seems unyielding, then begins to develop surprising complexity, with moments of intense grassy sweetness and herbal dryness.
Finish
Peppery. Chilis? Stinging. Tenacious.
Comment
A son of the soil. I would like to pit its spicy flavours against a good haggis.

Nose
A dry nose with crisp malt, attractive notes of flowers, fruit (lemon/quince/dried fruit) oil and a hint of smoke.
Palate
Dry and clean to start, then opens nicely with mid-palate sweetness balancing a firm structure.
Finish
Soft and gentle.
Comment
A very attractive, highly drinkable malt.
