Our overall comment on this malt was ‘a sunny day in the Highlands’. The deep gold colour suggests that the ex-Bourbon hogshead it is drawn from is 1st fill.
The first impression is gorse flowers, macaroons and almond paste, with fragrant jasmine behind, some ash, and after a while, light sponge.
Water introduces a pine-like note, heather flowers, yielding to buttery tablet with tinned mandarins.
The latter give a fresh acidity to the taste, which starts sweet, but not cloying and drying elegantly to a medium length finish. Well balanced and stylish.
