The whisky is a pale golden straw with banana, citrus fruits, honey and vanilla in the nose. Even at 46% ABV the nose is quite soft and muted. Taste is peppery, then honey and toffee which gives way to white wine and leathery notes. A winey, dry finish with a hint of beeswax. The whisky sweetens with a little water. An aperitif whisky which is very approachable, and for that reason I had 48 bottles of this great single malt packaged by Duncan Taylor for giving to clients in 2010.
