This is so approachable and pleasant, and it scores across the board. It doesn’t matter whether you’re new or already well on your way in whisky, this one more than delivers. Flavour, layers and depth: it’s all here and while it has a lot to offer, it’s never asking any difficult questions.

Spices and red fruit combined, with cherries and berried, going into a drying, stewed jam note. Nuts and gentle toffee and caramel. With a drop of water it turns more green-herbal with cola cubes and rhubarb, sitting on an oily sensation.

Rich, red fruit notes and forest fruit with a lot of berries, just ever so slightly peppery. Very nutty, on a dry, medium full mouthfeel with a very pleasant salinity. Even more nutty elements after adding water and less drying.

Pleasantly long, dried fruits, woody and salty.
