72- Nose
- Flowery, dry. Zest of lemon. Resiny. Leafy. Hint of peat.
- Palate
- Creamy mint toffee. Sweet, smooth, start, falling away somewhat.
- Finish
- Ginger. Spicy, medicinal. Warming. Soothing.
- Comment
- The best Coleburn I have tasted.
Jim Murray
70- Nose
- A floral perfume of bluebells and damp moss.
- Palate
- An early sprinkling of clean malt quickly disintegrates into something too oaky, hot and rugged for it's own good.
- Finish
- Tired, one-dimensional malt and offers a degree of sweetness against the drying and bitter oak.
- Comment
- Despite the low mark, pretty good by Coleburn standards. The nose and finale are impressive.
