Words of Whisky (86)

:

This has some very good aspects, yet I do believe it has overstayed its welcome a bit, and maybe should've been bottled a wee bit earlier. Regardless, this is far from a dime a dozen dram, and has boatloads of character.

Nose
Big notes of pear skin and stewed pear, as well as peach, followed by a touch of brown sugar and banana. Lovely floral as well, with just a hint of almond. Overall though, this has a thin, citrus-y veneer.

Taste
Quite oily, arriving with big citrus notes—pickled lemon and tangerine mainly—before moving on to dryer, oak-y flavours. Soft spices, slightly bitter. A touch of leather as well.

Finish
Very dry and oak-y. Ending on notes of yellow fruit.
