Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Nose
Apples, lemon, and a light yeastiness. Newly sawn wood. Meadow flowers and garden mint.
Palate
Fresh and young, with a baked apple flavour.
Finish
Floral, citric and a touch of toffee.
Comment
Lowland-like, extremely pretty and characterful. Good by any standard, excellent given its youth. Welcome to the gang Mackmyra!

Owen Barstow

Nose
Traces of vanilla and fudge, but largely dominated by the acetic dryness of new spirit. Menthol or Eucalyptus.
Palate
Flat, dusty, chalky. Big alcohol burn, even with water. Big, but unsophisticated, vanilla notes.
Finish
Definite peppermint/menthol character. With water, more toffee develops.
Comment
As a cask sample of a maturing whisky, I’d say it had definite potential, but otherwise, it’s jailbait.
