Tasting Note |
||
| Colour: | Luminous honey. |
|
| Body: | Medium weight, sinewy, crisp and subtle. | |
| Nose/Palate: | Feisty and fresh, baked apples, honeyed grapefruit, pineapple and gooseberry all dusted with sherbet powder. Little flashes of mandarin pop up as do rich, buttery Chardonnay notes to tinkle on the olfactory keyboard. Move up a key and the fresh floral aromas add to the melody of this beautiful malt. The taste maintains classic Speyside style with biscuity sweet malt and light, caramel flavours much more evident on the palate. They in turn bring well-integrated balance and demand that the fruit pays homage to the oak. It’s harmonious and vibrant and I admire the crisp directness of the spirit. | |
