Tasting Notes
The character is familiar to the Summer 2006 release but with all the hallmarks of well matured lowland whisky; the nose offers freshly baked apple sponge, spiced vanilla custard suggesting quality first fill ex-bourbon barrels, but the real weight comes from light green fruits and malty notes shining through from the distillate. This theme continues on the palate with a perfect balance of oak and distillate; desiccated coconut, warm gorse flower, lemon zest and beeswax mingle before a further burst of citrus on the back palate. A mouth-watering finish shows oak spice, the merest whiff of malty wood smoke and a final suggestion of stewed peaches.
