Peter Mulryan
80- Nose
- Camphor, hints of peat and loads of vanilla.
- Palate
- A full on tongue riot as melons and custard creams go at it big time.
- Finish
- The lurking peat finally makes itself felt.
- Comment
- A very enjoyable, no nonsense malt.
Dave Broom
75- Nose
- Estery. Hint of putty, cake mix, macadamia, lawnmower box. Then dry oak, pencil shavings, nectarine and light (dried) floral notes.
- Palate
- Starts all delicate and perfumed then firms up. Lean and balanced with a zesty citric lift and touches of nougat, clean oak and vanilla.
- Finish
- Peppery and spicy, then shaved oak.
- Comment
- In a Speyside mould. Well made and a good drink.
