Nose

Vanilla and spicy oak abound with some intriguing spice and citrus notes.

Palate

Soft and sweet, yet full and voluptuous towards the middle. There are cereal notes here and more vanilla oak.

Finish

Good length, with a creamy quality beneath the sweet, bourbon oak.

Overall

A lovely smooth dram that remains interesting and rich despite its sweetness.

Well worth the search

I went on a hunt for this one must say it was well worth all the trouble. What an excellent whisky, and worth every penny. This is all about the malt taking on the vanilla. And turning into a highland ice cream. A truly wonderful whisky.

Master of Malt Customer Apr 4, 2017

Pale, light, but deeply lovely

Very interesting and supremely tasty Scotch - a rare and beautiful find, and very reasonably priced (I paid around £100). There's a light fruit, hint of smoke on the finish, and a sort of shortbread biscuit taste - very pleasant indeed. Worth looking for and definitely recommended

Master of Malt Customer Dec 4, 2014

Beautiful!

For me, this was an exertion into expensive malt (for my purse anyway!). Absolutely love it - the MoM tasting notes are quite accurate although I found honeyed tones in the palate. I will be buying another when I can afford it. One word of warning, only add spring water (if water is your thing) or ice cubes made from such water. I added a tapwater ice cube and this whisky really brought out the chlorine.
