  1. thijs100 scored this whisky 90 points Connoisseur

    A top notch single malt from a cult distillery.
    • Nose
      Fresh with green grapes, granny smith apples, lemon peel and hints of oranges and peaches. Wonderful fruity DNA. A whiff of vanilla custard also, accompanied by honey. Great mix of sweet, fresh and sour.
    • Taste
      Pink grapefruit and tangerines with soft tannins, a whiff of cardboard and a pinch of pepper. A touch of vanilla pods too. Superbly fruity with a great balance.
    • Finish
      Lingering spices and a fresh sweetness.

  6. Andytka3 scored this whisky 89 points Connoisseur

    N- Fat vanilla butter that caught your attention, boiled white fruits, pear with some candy and gum-ish. Sweet notes of creme brulee and full of depth.

    P- Sweet herbs, solvent and oak fragrant. Pickled ginger that gives it a spicy and sweet nuance with scents of sweet spice.

    F- Medium, gingery, warming with peculiar mixes of sweet fruit and oak fragrant. Greasy and full texture. — at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

  7. goran scored this whisky 88 points Expert Senior

    N: floral, perfume limit
    B: ginger, tangy, syrupy
    F: dry fruit, slightly fruity, herbaceous, refreshing bitterness
    The water makes the fruits stand out even more and the grassy side (BT2015)
