Bottlings
April 27, 2013
After a rather strong initial sherry punch the aromas fade away rather quickly. It feels young and a bit unbalanced, though not unpleasant. – Rating: 78/100
January 3, 2013
A very nice daily dram with a faint hint of what some might call ‘coastal’, overall it is quite subtle but very enjoyable. – Rating: 82/100
January 13, 2012
A very fine richly sherried malt, sweetness and spice are in good balance but it could have a little more depth. – Rating: 86/100

This malt has not really convinced me. It has quite a nice nose, but it is rather weak on the palate and the finish is on the short side as well. It has some “aperitival” qualities, though. -Rating: 72/100

This malt doesn’t have much to offer. Some might call it “light summertime dram” which for me is a bit of a euphemism. – Score: 66/100
