Overall
Score
7.9
Nose
Citric, with touches of flowers (freesia, lilac, apple blossom) and light esters: pineapple. Some softer fruits as well. Very clean.
Palate
Better than the nose with real mid palate sweetness. Very spicy: nutmeg, long pepper, alongside some light lemon sherbet. In time it gets slightly richer: coconut and brown sugar.
Finish
Medium length. Soft fruits.
Comment
A session whisky which is better on the palate than the nose.
