Nose
Walnuts. Vanilla. Green herbs. Some flowery sweetness. Palate
Flowery, herbal, salty. Finish
Slightly resiny. Very salty. Comment
Slightly sweeter on the nose, and less complex, than the best bottlings I have tasted.
Jim Murray
Nose
Perhaps the most enigmatic aroma of them all: delicate yet assertive, sweet yet dry, young yet oaky. A malty tone poem. Palate
Flaky oakiness with a complex toastiness to the barley suggesting the lightest hint of smoke. Finish
Amazingly long, drying from the initial sweetness but with flaked almonds amid the oakier notes. Comment
A great single malt: beautifully uncompromising from the first sniff to the last gulp.
