  1. SwiftyMcVeigh scored this whisky 85 points Expert Senior

    Ambitious in terms of price. Apart from that, a very palatable Lowlander.
    • Nose
      84 84
      Caramel candy, floral herbal notes, vanilla, a bit of malt sweetness and fresh oak that is reminiscent of chipboard. Overall restrained. In the background grapes and red wine tannins. Orange and citrus. Takes time to develop.
    • Taste
      85 85
      Creamy soft start. Then there are ginger and white pepper spiciness. Cream candy, honey sweetness, cloves, light grapes, tannins, vanilla.
    • Finish
      86 86
      Medium to long, dry and slightly bitter, the grapes remain with the oak.

    • Nose
      70 70
      light vomit, vinous, lightly woody, grain, really bad experience nosing this

      ripe orchard fruit, touch of cocoa, raisins, woody, chocolate, lightly dusty, luckily not that much in the taste that was on the nose

  7. Malthead19 scored this whisky 81 points Connoisseur

    - a still young but very pleasant single malt
    - very good burning quality
    - PLV: with about 70 - 80 € it is really no
    House number
    - The quality of the distillate is very good, but for me too
    expensive
    • Nose
      dry fruity first impression, flowery, citrus fruits (lime), fresh and young
    • Taste
      powerful, long-lasting start, slightly sweet, lime, lychee, orange, then a surprising spiciness is added at the end (ginger, pepper), you can taste young age (but not unpleasant)
    • Finish
      medium-long, soft finish;
      long, warm, full-bodied spicy aftertaste

  8. Spoerkel scored this whisky 82 points Expert Senior

    Quite fruity for a Lowlander - but all in all very average. Admittedly, I'm not going to be a Lowland fan anymore ...
