SMWS Tasting Notes
Colour: Coppery rose
Flavour: Spicy & dry

We encountered a totally magnificent nose – plentiful plum
jam, candy floss, toffee crisp, fudge, jammy dodgers and port wine, but with
deeper layers of tobacco, liquorice and Eastern spices. The palate had slightly
burnt damson jam, fruity toffee, fruit chutney and fig rolls – teasingly
tannic, mildly minerally and vaguely sulphury, but acceptably so. The reduced
nose uncovered ripe watermelon, fruit pastilles, wine gums, icing sugar, sweet
sultanas and blackcurrant yoghurt. Adding water transformed the palate into a
complete joy – strawberry toffees, Astro Belts, fruity tobacco – unusual and
highly enjoyable. The distillery is very near the West Highland Way (south
end).

Drinking Tip: A dram for chatting up strawberry blondes
