Nose
Lemon grass. Banana leaves. Coconut ice-cream. Palate
Big flavours. Sweet, then vegetal, then creamy, then hot. A suggestion of chilli peppers. Finish
Stinging. Bring on the Thai food. Comment
Astonishingly full in both body and flavour for a grain whisky.
Dave Broom
Nose
Very soft and sweet. Some tinned pineapple, then menthol. With water there’s banana, tropical fruit (passion fruit) and pear. High-toned and sweet. Palate
Tightly focussed on to the front and centre of the palate. Menthol returns along with high citrus tones. Plenty of vanilla. Finish
Clean and short. Comment
Light and smooth and balanced. A crowd pleaser.
