DARREN “A strange combination on the nose with mossy grape vines and chocolate dime bars, this whisky has good weight and balance. On the palate there is a light combination of peaches and melons with a dusting of white pepper. Rather spicier than I would have expected. Very interesting.”

DARREN “On the nose some mild peat notes, ginger biscuits and leather sandals fi lled with sand. Flavour wise there is a lot going on with a good combination of pastel fruit sweetness, heather, vanilla and oak. A malty sweet fi nish which trails off with a soft oaky tone and a trace of peat.”

REGIS “Fresh apples and citrus fruit salad on the nose, with a distant


woodiness. A beautiful taste which I did not expect, tropical fruits and sherberts with a juicy sweetness. A fantastic dram.”
