I had really liked this expression a lot back in 2013 (WF 85). Colour: gold. Nose: there, litchis, apples, pot-pourri, papayas, more litchis, triple-sec, vanilla… With water: we’re getting closer to barley and herbal teas. I’m thinking lime-flower tea… Mouth (neat): a creamy fruitiness, some oranges, some vanilla, a coconutty touch, butter pears, chamomile tea, bananas… So far so good. With water: average, in the best sense of that word. Could have been Tomatin, could have been Benriach, could have been... say Tomintoul. A sweet and rounded barley-y fruitiness. Finish: medium, on bananas and ripe apples. Comments: go taste this blind and locate the distillery. Game?
:
Color: Old gold
Nose: Fresh, vibrant and fruity. Nectarines and peaches accompanied by pears and underripe bananas, as well as coconut, glue and wood shavings.
Taste: Lots of fruit again. Orange, lime, mandarin and pineapple. Also a touch of pink grapefruit and some wood spices as well. Lovely stuff and very drinkable.
Finish: Medium in length. Wood shavings, coconut and tropical fruits.
Comments: Attractive. Nice fruity and easy malt whisky. Good stuff indeed.
