Greg Dillon Notes
Nose:
by vanilla notes, hints of strawberries and cream, with subtle hints of toasted oak. Lovely.
Palate:
raft of flavours from the nose follow through and develop to a slightly more intense experience. Great stuff.
Finish:
one, or two.
Overall:
of great casks and some blending wizardry here; thoroughly enjoyed this whiskey, and am impressed that the young single grain character can deliver such a wonderful bottle of whiskey.
Michael Foggarty Notes
Nose:
Palate:
much reminds me of all the Scottish tablet I used to eat as a youngster.
Finish:
Overall:
It’s a nice whiskey, but it doesn’t deliver in its price point.
