70
- Nose
- Tropical fruit. Water melons. Orange flower water.
- Palate
- Pleasantly oily. Very light-tasting at first, but with some flavour development. Honeydew melon with ginger.
- Finish
- Spicy, warming, long, soothing.
- Comment
- Very scenty and sweet. A restorative. Perhaps after a bath or swim?
75
- Nose
- Typically heady and sweet. Soft ginger and mint make for a complex and attractive nose.
- Palate
- Surprisingly light at first, then fattens with a malty, slightly bitter oiliness.
- Finish
- A better balance of oak and malt as the vanilla punches in.
- Comment
- Interesting stuff. Hardly glorious but unlike any other single malt around with an astonishing array of flavours and mood changes.
