Jim Murray’s Tasting Notes

Score 92/100

• NOSE: A distinct Speyside style with fresh grasses and citric fruits linking with delicate vanilla for a beautiful aroma.
  
• TASTE: Almost unbelievable barley intensity, but wonderful cocoa background.
  
• FINISH: That wonderful cocoa theme continues but again the barley is spot on.
  
• Conclusion: Balance, there are about 20 distilleries in Speyside that would die to be able to make whisky this stunningly integrated. Young, barely pubescent but sheer, unadulterated class.

Producer’s tasting notes

• NOSE: An intensely sweet satin smooth malt with overtones of vanilla, almond meal and Jaffa.
  
• PALATE: The palate is reminiscent of spiced orange Turkish Delight, with a fresh mouth cleansing zestiness all intermingled with malty cereal and cocoa. Rich and sweet without being cloying. A brilliant balance of sensations.
  
• FINISH: The finish is deep and enveloping with lingering malt richness.
