Overall
Score
7.6
Nose
Raisins, then peat ash and swimming pools and Love Heart sweeties. A fruitcake character wafts in and out of focus.
Palate
Intensely floral: lavender, parma violet and dried roses.
Finish
A meaty, burnt character.
Comment
The keynotes are the intense floral and a meaty sherryness, which aren't my favourite flavours in a whisky, but I can see this being popular with many.
