Our tasting note from Thomas
The nose is full of fruit. Buttered pears and apples combine with a hint of lemon and almond. A little malt, spices (white pepper, sweet ginger, nutmeg) and a touch of wood quickly round out this straightforward profile. A very accessible start.
The palate is not very powerful, but very rounded. The fruit is back, with slightly sweet pear and apple. Then it's the turn of roasted malt to take flight, with cinnamon and ginger. After a fruity start, cereals and spices take over.
The finish is carried by the cereal aspect and buttery fruits, all in sweetness. A slight vegetal bitterness finally emerges, surrounded by dried fruits (hazelnut, almond) and toasted wood. A slightly vegetal and spicy sensation remains on the palate.
" A no-nonsensewhisky that combines fruit and grain with aplomb..."
