ROBIN “Rich cherries and aniseed on the nose, this whisky tastes almost euro asian with the rich spices, honey almonds and fi lo pastry quite dominant. The addition of water lightens the balance and makes it almost fl oral. A smooth and endearing fi nish makes this relaxing whisky perfect for a sunny afternoon.”

EWEN “A drier sherry aroma with hints of ozone and cereal. Slightly herbal on the palate with the sherry notes slowly slipping away to leave a sweet malty fi nish.”
