Nose
Clean linen. Cedar. Fresh oak. Palo cortado sherry. Palate
Remarkably smooth. Sweet. Hints of brazil nut and apple. Finish
Creamy. Hint of lemon-pith dryness. Very delicate touch of sherry. Comment
A lovely, complex, sophisticated malt.
Jim Murray
Nose
Very clean nose: the oak is minimal with honeyed-grassy malt. Beguiling. Palate
A fabulous, honey-sweet infusion of tender malty notes do take on a waxy middle. Finish
Bitter-sweet and still waxy with mounting vanilla and even a late hint of cocoa. Comment
By no means the most complex whisky on the market, but unquestionably one of the most elegant and charming.
