My Tasting Notes
Colour: Dark straw
Nose: Bananas, fresh apples, vanilla, lemon zest, hints of honey and nutmeg,
Palate: Vanilla, lemon zest, nutmeg, hints of black pepper
Finish: Rather short and slightly dry
Overall: I don’t think this dram has changed much in the past 28 months. Decent nose but non-descript palate.
Score: 72/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$

Interesting how different palates can be. I really find this one to be a very nice everyday drinker with great approachability and balance.
Indeed, and that’s what makes whisky so interesting. I recently bought a bottle of this and use it as a ‘calibration dram’ before tasting. It does its job so I don’t regret buying it. But for me it is missing that special something that’s needed to really enjoy it.
