Tasting notes from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible: "a meandering elegance and surprising degree of weight, too, with the most charming and gentle smokiness drifting around in very old-fashioned Speyside style. A classic exhibition of oak and barley interplay: perfect balance and respect for the other. There is even a surprise fruit note of sharp passion fruit: where the hell did that come from…? Could nose this all day, if I had the time… NOSE TASTE right: so, does this complexity on the nose transfer across to the palate…? Oh, my word it certainly does! The delivery is seemingly choreographed, the malt of varied intensities – sometimes a little sharp (that passion fruit, again?), sometimes almost gristy sweet; sometimes ethereal, sometimes weightier as that minor phenol makes the most subtle of impacts - dancing across the palate without an off-note in the world; FINISH Light butterscotch, lighter barley but still tan peek-a-boo smoke adding the telling late weight and gently fizzing spices for good measure. Oh, and some very late heather-honey, too, which is pretty unusual at this very late stage… BALANCE Light butterscotch, lighter barley but still tan peek-a-boo smoke adding the telling late weight and gently fizzing spices for good measure.
