Nose
Floral and nutty. Freesia. Fresh crushed almonds. Beewax. Touch of damp earth. Pear drop. Ripe banana.
Palate
Velvety, coating. Pleasant fruity profile. William pears. Mashed banana with a touch of demerara sugar. Sweet liquorice.
Finish
Medium length. Clean, fruity.
Comment
An open and conversational whisky. Does not boast complexity but has a vibrant fruity aromatic profile. Tastes stronger than 43%.

Nose
Citric, with touches of flowers (freesia, lilac, apple blossom) and light esters: pineapple. Some softer fruits as well. Very clean.
Palate
Better than the nose with real mid palate sweetness. Very spicy: nutmeg, long pepper, alongside some light lemon sherbert. In time it gets slightly richer: coconut and brown sugar.
Finish
Medium length. Soft fruits.
Comment
A session whisky which is better on the palate than the nose.
