Bottlings
October 25, 2012
Extremely light in character, subdued but pleasant flavours, this is one for lovers of gentle drams. – Rating: 77/100
November 10, 2010
This is quite a bit drier than the 2000 vintage but it has lost nothing of its fruitiness. It also gained some complexity. – Rating: 85/100
November 10, 2010
A very pleasant light-bodied malt that does not brag with its qualities but delivers nonetheless. – Rating: 84/100
May 25, 2010
Rather gentle and unobstrusive, some people call this type a summer whisky which I think is a bit of a euphemism. There are some splendid malts of this type around, mind you. But this is not one of them. – Score: 78/100
