Nose
Sun-scorched grass. Pistachio nuts. Dates.
Palate
Flowery. Fruity. Gingery. Sappy.
Finish
Powerful. Spicy. Oily. Becoming dry.
Comment
A curious inversion. As though the whisky (rich and sweet, but without penetrating flavours) provides the background, while the sherry and wood are the highlights.

Nose
Fresh, young and lively. Green grapes, sour apple, crisp malt. Attractive but with a slight immaturity.
Palate
Softer than the nose suggests but full of the taut firmness of youth.
Finish
Clean. Malty.
Comment
Another interesting milestone in the evolution of what is obviously a fine distillery making good quality spirit.
