General description

Oh man. This did not disappoint!

Reviewed: 30/10/2022

Nose

Immediately took me back to AnCnoc 12 and Old Pulteney 17 - has that floral, perfumed note I love… a bit of a zesty note as well, but nothing obnoxious. With time it opened up revealing some crème brûlée, very feint umami chicken stock note I get with all worm tub whisky

Palate

That damn floral note is just so good, and the rich, oily, mouth coating effect is simply superb. Well worth the money!

Finish

Silky smooth. Long. Moreish and geranium

Warm and smooth, fruity yet quite dry. Red fruits and (not overwhelming) vanilla flavours for a complex and fully rewarding Speysider.

Nutmeg, malt, oak.
