A well rounded Highland single malt whisky with light salty flavours making a fine apéritif. A crisp, dry and appetising malt that starts fresh and orange-sweet with a long and dry finish.
APPEARANCE
Mid gold, almost buttery.
BODY
Light to medium body, crisp and mouth-cleansing.
NOSE
The first impression is fresh and citric (oranges and lemons), with a background scent of violets, which rises then falls. It is replaced by concentrated orange juice and old oranges. There are some very light cereal notes (cornflakes?) in the background. The overall impression is clean and appetising. Softens and dulcifies when water is added. Becomes more scented - clover flowers - but still upon a base of orange juice. There is also a whiff of beeswax.
PALATE
Light and sweetish, but overall dry with pleasant acidity and even a pinch of salt.
FINISH
Long and dry. The beeswax returns in the aftertaste.
