Nose
Attractive, vivid. Lots of citrus fruit. Orange marmalade. Lemon meringue pie. Floral hint.
Palate
Ample. Velvety, mouth coating. Complex and tasty festoon of spices. Mint cream. Hazelnut toffee. Liquorice. Shortbread. Malty sweetness.
Finish
Warm, lasting, soothing on creamy notes.
Comment
Make the effort to sample a cracking dram and to visit the bonniest distillery in Scotland.

Milky. Light hazelnut, cocoa powder, haystacks, unmalted barley, popcorn, flour sacks.
Palate
Medium-bodied. Some complexity beneath a pretty firm structure. Flour, nutmeg.
Finish
Dry, nutty.
Comment
Strathisla is a funny beast-rigid when young it takes a long time to come out of its shell. This is just starting to do so.
