Lovely fatty, buttery taste; for me the best part of this whisky.

Colour: pale gold
Nose: fruity & fresh, cake-y. With the second sniff I get cardboard, but that's immediately gone again. Yellow raisins, vanilla custard, mineral - almost brine-like.
Taste: full-bodied and buttery, followed by a basket of yellow and tropical fruit (apple, mango) and then some citrusy tones. Icing sugar, hint of floral soapiness (but in a good way).
Finish: a tad soapy, a touch of grapefruit bitterness, some lemon peel and light vanilla. Dissipates quite fast.

25-points score: Nose: 22 / Taste: 23 / Finish: 20/21 / Balance: 22. Either 87 or 88 points - I'm feeling generous today so 88 it is.

Tasted 21/12/2018 in a Blender's Glass in an Inverness line-up (Glen Mhor, Glen Albyn, Millburn)

This is the dram that originally got me into Millburn and, by extension, the other Inverness malts. I've sampled it on three separate occasions at the Exmoor White Horse, and really enjoyed it each time, though I've never taken detailed notes. The colour is gold with an intriguing tinge of green. The whisky itself is fresh, with an easy balance between apple and light peat.
