Nose Super malty, with fresh barley jumping straight from the glass. Baked apple notes, Custard Cream biscuits, subtle pepper, magnolia flowers, chewy red fruits. Ginger cake and green banana, too.
Palate Really lively with zesty orange juice and hot cinnamon springing out first. Then there's cooked apple, almond, coconut and menthol whispers.
Finish Quite gentle. It's all about apple strudels, with a distant wisp of smoke.
Overall A lively single malt – if you like vibrant ex-bourbon whiskies, this is for you.
