Review and Tasting


Sampled on 05/12/2012

Appearance:

Clear, mid golden amber with bright gold highlights.

Aroma:

Lemon barley water, popcorn, shortbread and chamois leather with honeycomb and faint honeysuckle blossom.

Taste:

Slightly sweet with a luscious mouth feel, new leather and shortbread with creamy vanilla and sherry. White pepper, cinnamon, dry oaky notes and faint ginger add spicy complexity.

Aftertaste:

Creamy vanilla sweetness with pleasing black pepper spice and drying lingering oak. Reminiscent of Glengoyne 12 year old but a step up again. A dangerously easy malt.
