Dave Broom
80- Nose
- Very sweet with lots of estery notes: lemon, apple, bubblegum, iris. American cream soda, orange smarties.
- Palate
- A clean, sweet, start. Barley sugar, banana, lightly floral/chestnut blossom. Water shows a touch of honey. Lovely feel.
- Finish
- Glides away. Great length.
- Comment
- Good impact for a ‘light' whisky. Highly recommended.
Arthur Motley
77- Nose
- Fresh plums, green wine gums and green fresh pears. Grass and hay, a hot, dry meadow.
- Palate
- Full and sweet, with a grassy, floral flavour and some green maltiness. A pleasing oily body.
- Finish
- More cereal character and a bit of earthiness.
- Comment
- An ideal first dram of the day, and a good example of how younger malt can offer a livelier, fat texture in the mouth.
