Dave Broom

Nose
Some oak. Custard, clover honey, light peach/mango with a delicate touch of smoke (more applewood than peat smoke). With water it is perfumed with tangerine and shore aromas.
Palate
All about texture. Palate-coating, tongue-clinging. White chocolate and mango. Rounded and chewy with lots of pulpy fruits. Has lower levels of smoke. Water moves it into barley sugar while a grassy note gives lift.
Finish
Ripe apricot and waxiness.
Comment
Unctuous and smooth.

Rob Allanson

Nose
A honey liqueur quality, plenty of honeycomb. Peaches and cream, gentle oak and white chocolate.
Palate
That liqueur quality comes over as mouth coating, rich waxiness. Juicy peach and mango too. A touch of smoke lurks as well.
Finish
Soft and honeyed.
Comment
Seems to stand out on its own in the range. But full and bold all the same.

Depends on the blend
Blended whisky is most often considered a poor relation to single malts.
