    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Gristy, supple nuttiness intertwined with spices. Honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting.

    Palate

    Sweet with good body. The bourbon characters develop; gentle spice with a little vanilla, a hint of balancing peat lurking quietly in the substrata. Dried fruit too, combining with nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, back into the bourbon notes - so well integrated.

    Finish

    Spicy, slightly drying, still sweet.

    Overall

    A classic, always a pleasure to revisit. (This is also a single malt with the ability to convert a non-whisky drinker with its deliciousness...)

    Well worth it!

    Incredibly smooth first taste then warming on the throat - almost a syrup fruitiness. Was encouraged to buy following the comments and not disappointed.

    recommended

    Decided to give this highly-reputed dram a go. I've been drinking cask strength Springbank, Kingsbarns and rye, so this made a lovely easy-drinking change. Not hugely complex, but very enjoyable indeed. Slightly understated classy-ness, with decent length and good mouthfeel. Would buy again.

    One of the best

    Superb choice. More complex than the nose might suggest. Ample depth of flavour, a kaleidoscopic effect on the palette that just keeps going. Will definitely buy again if it returns to the shelves.

    Smooth

    Have to echo the comments and tasting notes. This is a very smooth whisky. Usually have a drop of water with it, but it doesn't really need it as it stands up so well on its own. Love a Laphroaig but this is fast becoming a favourite.
