Surprisingly full and ripe immediately after pouring. Green notes, some cereals, a light citrus touch and also slight sweetness. That's far less New Makey than feared. After he was allowed to breathe for a while now, I have a first momentum of peach compote in my nose, but it is immediately chased away by fresh New Make notes. Only exercise revives the whole thing again, but the beautiful nose has unfortunately disappeared from the beginning. Anyway, it's really more fermented new make than whisky now. A pity, if I had known that, I would not have stopped breathing so quickly. Heat brings back some life to the shack, vinous notes are now in the foreground and the peaches are to be guessed again, but now also bites the alcohol in the nose and the bread is still there. Vanilla is still to be found, just before too much heat makes the nose musty. If it cools down again, I get a brief impression of black bread with Nutella.

In the mouth it is slightly oily, the alcohol is also ahead, but tamed, as was to be feared. He does not remember alcohol. On the flavors side, herbs and bright honey give a rendezvous, behind there's still a decent load of white pepper. In the second sip he seems a bit sprightly, the sweetness is now rather sugary and it gets slightly metallic at the back. In the third sip, unfortunately, this trend continues, the alcohol is now very harsh and the sweetness is now almost completely gone to the herbs.

The finish is not that short. The herbs are already forgotten when the pepper is gone. Instead, the honey slowly gives way to its carrier surface: the bread. After about two minutes, then everything is over, even to the bread reminds nothing more.

Malty and grainy, some almonds, vanilla and yeast. You can smell its young age, almost new make

Spicy and slightly drying, coffee, toast, nuts, nutmeg, some herbs. As for the nose, feels almost new makey, it's still very young, you can't hide it.

Longer than expected. Pepperish and some herbs.

Young with a hint of New Make Spirit, malty, light, fruity and floral, pineapple and berries with herbs

Sharp edges, alcohol, then toffee, custard, cookies

Short aftertaste, honey and again malty, pepper, ginger

starts thin and behaving
Shortbread (class), slightly oak later becomes freshly sawn wood, light fruit (so peach), metal touch
dark caramel is coming
later: bitterness, (spiny) berry, nice vanilla, some lemon

soft and full on the palate
hmmm in the beginning was somehow not clearly identified
then spicy
later: red berry and a slightly chemical note, malt, floury apple

medium long
spicy, oak comes and gets stronger, browned apple

sweet, vanilla, cereal, pineapple, just a bit of new make spirit left. also citrus fruits, grassy and peaches.

Bit sharp and acidic, bit hard of alcohol, hint of baby puke, white pepper.

not very long, white pepper, honey and bread

Very light, fresh, grassy, freshly mowed grass. Also floral, the green of plants. Some yellow fruit, lemon.

Oh my, as promising as the nose is, as weak is the body. Watery mouthfeel, caramel, orange. Thin, not much taste or depth. A bit of honey.

Now a little more pepper and power, orange, honey, licorice. Still not very convincing, and not too long.

The nose offers a beautiful fruity-floral Lowland note, as intended by Kingsbarns: lemons, bananas and pears meet Werther's real, vanilla and a hint of spice.

The taste is light, but the texture is wonderfully creamy. Again, a strong vanilla influence is noticeable, flanked by pudding and apples.

The finish is short to medium in length and offers kumquats, a little pepper and a very delicate bitterness.

Full ripe pears, fruity sweet with lemon apple pear. Lightly honey sweet with a little vanilla. Alcoholic note is permanently noticeable.

Slightly oily, also fruity with pear, apple, lemon. Light touch of chocolate. Alcoholic sharpness

short, slightly bitter with coffee. The second sip reminds a little of vodka, so little taste.
