A series of three light character sweet whiskies. Same family? Probably. They all reveal sweetness but this one overdoes it.

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Sweet. Cream soda, icing sugar. Candy shop scents. Touch of marshmallow. \r

Palate: Sweet and smooth. Satin like. Tastes like a soft drink.

Finish: Short and sweet.

Comment: A series of three light character sweet whiskies. Same family? Probably. They all reveal sweetness but this one overdoes it.

Score: 7.3

Joel Harrison

Taster

Nose: Pear drops, fresh apricot, star anise, vanilla and dream topping.

Palate: Spice is the order of the day here, which overpowers the vanilla a little, but does provide a foundation for some red berries and rhum agricole notes to flourish. The sweetness of the grain is again the order of the day here with brown sugars mixing with

Finish: Crème brûlée topping, roast chicken flavour crisps and toffee apple.

Comment: Oddly balanced, I can't work out if I'd mix this or drink it neat. The latter shouts louder, but only just.

Score: 7.9
