Review and Tasting

Sampled on 14/04/2014

Appearance:

Clear, light-mid golden amber.

Aroma:

Vanilla, creamy caramel, spicy oak and ripe banana with toffee, lemon and freshly shelled walnuts. Water releases oaty Horlicks-like notes.

Taste:

Spicy oak with dry tannins and faint saltiness eased by underlying sweet grain, fudge and toffee. Hints of coffee and chocolate. Water amplifies spicy oak.

Aftertaste:

Salty, vanilla, coffee and chocolate. We love this grain whisky’s mocha coffee spiced cereal flavours but not its stratospheric price.
