Style: Light and Crisp Fruits
Nose:
A layer of crisp citrus lemon, apples and juniper berries on the first whiff. Vanilla and malt follows closely. Sharpened spice with a nice focus. Slightly fatter oils hide down at the deep. Hints of cucumbers on the tail.
Palate:
Light barley delivery on the palate. Fresh lemon tarts, cucumber high ball, malty toast as oak beckons. Slight grassy note towards the end.
Finish:
Subtle malt sweetness, dim medicinal herbs to finish.
Thoughts:
When I am tasting this, the term “summer drink” immediately spring to mind, despite the fact that I never see whisky as a seasonal drink. Light, sweet, refreshing with a touch of herbal greens. A lovely mid-summer seasonal style of whisky. Not a super malt, but it is a good addition to your whisky cabinet.
