Description
To taste this malt whisky add a few drops of water to help awaken the bouquet of the malt and bring out the aromatics.
COLOUR : Bright Gold.
NOSE : At bottling strength, a soft toffee sweet but faintly spicy flavour counterbalances the trace of delicate phenols and fruit. An all encompassing smoothness brings these together. A touch of water allows the seaweed and salt to come through but not enough to overpower the vanilla and honey sweetness with just a trace of new mown hay and peat at the finish.
BODY : An intense depth that is exceptionally balanced and warming.
TASTE : An instant warming tang of smoke fades into smooth floral scents, which blends seamlessly into an oaky nuttiness and leaves a lasting sweetness on the taste. With a touch of water, the peaty warmth fills the mouth but does not overshadow the sweet chocolate smoothness. This is balanced by the rich toffee taste and slowly fades into a delicate hint of heather and peat smoke.
FINISH : Full bodied, long with a luxurious oily smoothness.
