Tasting Notes

Joel Harrison

Taster

Nose: Honeysuckle and lavender with a touch of chilli oil and coconut. Very much of the classic Speyside style and it develops well with time.\n

Palate: Medium body with a hint of oiliness, it gives a lovely white chocolate start with Royal Jelly coming in and finally some rich runny honey. Well balanced and well rounded. Works well with water too. \n

Finish: Sweet buttered popcorn, syrup and upside down cake.\n

Comment: I’m sure Whinnie the Pooh would love this, all runny honey sweetness.

Score: 8.8

Chris Goodrum

Taster

Nose: Beautifully mature and tropical with hints of green apple, gooseberry, apricot and barley. Slightly coffeed with some lovely honey and dusty oak.

Palate: Fresher and crisper with the emphasis on the white fruit, barley and mineral notes. Lightly honeyed with a more subtle oak character.\n

Finish: Fantastically long with lingering crisp green apple and citrus.\n

Comment: A lovely mature malt which skilfully blends maturity and freshness.

Score: 8.7
