Taster

Nose: Light for all its colour-attractive green fresh grain with some caramel.

Palate: Lively. A deep grain middle on which the most delicate of malt notes hang. Firm, but deliciously sweet.

Finish: Chewy with a strong build up of oak, suggesting decent age.

Comment: Enjoyable if simplistic, the grain holds power here. An attractive session whisky.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Soft, rounded. Polished walnut.

Palate: Smooth, malty, honeyish, slightly syrupy.

Finish: Honeyish. A touch of orange.

Comment: Very easily drinkable. Well matured, as the label suggests. Enjoyable. Appetising. Slightly drier with a splash of water, but not too much. Too good for a mizuwari.

Score: 7.8
