Nose
Meadow flowers. Clover. Wild herbs. Sweet. Palate
Creamy. Textured. Cereal grain. Crushed barley. Oatmeal. Finish
Distinctly nutty. Hazelnuts. Faint, toasty, hint of peat. Comment
Delicate, and definitely Speyside, but not quite as elegant as some expressions I have tasted.

Banana, toffee. Short. Comment
Delicate, light and simple.
