TASTING NOTES
Nose Green whisky! This brings a curious blast of outdoor freshness, like spring meadows. It’s bright and clean, but there’s a lovely seductive lick of cool dunnage here too. It’s like a fresh breeze blowing through a bothy. There are sweet citrus notes mixing with this floral and grassy bouquet conjuring images of crisp, fresh linen. There is some acidity too, like white grapes alongside a sweetness that’s reminiscent of golden syrup.
Palate Sweeter on arrival than expected. Syrupy. A lovely limoncello effervescence and a little waxiness. I like it. There’s a flickering dryness too, and a little something dusty and herbal that amplifies that ‘green’ element - like dried tarragon. The acidity from the nose makes an appearance too but it’s nice, like sharp green olives. It’s an overall dry whisky and this is felt on the finish, although a few drops of water helps stretch things and encourages the floral side to pop. Overall, the experience is subtle, not bold. Like when whispering is more attention-grabbing than speaking.
