Murray’s Tasting Highlights:
• The Nose: More striking on the phenol front than the label suggests, with notes of light crushed sultana.
• The Palate: “An essay in understatement.” Beautifully oiled with an earthiness to the peat (without the heavy Islay medicinal notes), revealing fruit encased in milk chocolate.
• The Finish: Light molasses clinging to delicate smoke.
(Note: Murray takes no payment from distilleries. This elite score is completely independent and entirely earned.)
Official tasting notes
Nose: Fresh bourbon aromas are softened by sweet sherry essence. Hints of toffee and caramel shine through.
Palate: Chocolate truffles meet sticky toffee pudding and trifle sponge – and the whole mouthful is wonderfully overlaid with gentle hints of peat smoke. By any standards this is a rich and sumptuous dram, bursting with flavour.
Finish: Caramel sweetness is present, accompanied by hints of toffee and demerara sugar. A trace of peat smoke remains until the very end, ensuring a beautiful lingering finish.
