Reviews
Nose – I stand corrected, this is evidently a very large whisky, with a confident, dusty, grown up nose full of orchard fruit, sawdust and waxy, jelly snakes. The blue ones.
Body – Soft and sweet, then weirdly, muskily sweet with caught rhubarb juice and brown sugar.
Finish – Medium with cured oak planks on a hot summer day. Deliciously fruity with balanced sugar and acid.
A summery whisky for the end of the year. This is a lot better and significantly more robust than I was expecting. I (in theory) don’t abide distillery prejudice, and I’m not sure what I’ve got against Tomintoul but it doesn’t apply here.
