Nose: Fresh cereal, grain, vanilla, digestive biscuits, hints of dried dates and nuts, green pears, citrus elements too and also an earthier side heading towards some peat notes.
Palate: I still get that peat vibe alongside some caramel, vanilla, oak spice, green under-ripe fruit (apples and pears) and some fresh thyme.
Finish: Quite spicy, warming, oak, slight smoke, grain, and some thyme still kicking around.
With water: The nose becomes creamier, the palate is rounder, creamier too with some citrus and malty notes heading into the finish (grapefruit).
I have never really taken to grain whisky apart from a 25 year-old Cambus from Chorlton whisky. This one is younger and more spirit-driven but I’ve actually enjoyed it. Would I drink a lot of it, probably not but I guess it might be time for me to explore the grain whisky world a little further!
Slàinte!
