A nicely but discrete perfumed nose with beautiful fragrances of ripe fruit (pear) and acid drop.
The pleasant mouth is rather dry and slightly acid, with some bitterness and spices.
A nice fruity and sweet finish.
2006The happiness with this wonderful whisky begins with the first nosing.The nose detects some of the characteristics of Lowland whiskies (lightness, cut grass, etc...) but with some more character. The palate is very pleasant, and reveals lots of fragrances. A exceptionally complex whisky for a Lowlands. The finish is rather long, letting us enjoy this excellent alcohol for minutes. Another illustration of the quality of thisz series.
2003Strange mysteries of whisky tastings. The second tasting revealed a whisky even stronger than during the first one. I found some slight smoke hints, nearly recalling a Springbank. A very complex taste and a remarkable finish. A very great bottle.
2004The nose is remarkably gentle and sweet whit clear hints of ripe fruits, pear for instance.
In the palate, a very pleasant complexity, sweetness without great contrasts but with much nuances, and some slightly bitter woody touches. Really delicate and refined.
A rather long and sweet finish. This whisky must be tasted consciously, because you could miss its magical side...
