Remarks:
Distilleries in this Blended Malt: GlengoyneBlair AtholGlen Garioch

Great blend. Very multi-layered and complex. Great interplay of aromas. You can always find new aromas that alternate with the ones you found before.

Overall I rate this Whisky:

  • Nose:
    Sweet and fruity with malt, vanilla and caramel, honey, a little chocolate, oak, citrus fruits. The longer you smell it, the more you notice the interplay of aromas. Very complex.

  • Taste:
    Malty, sweet start. Then comes the oak, a few fruits, vanilla, caramel and chocolate. A slight bitterness appears which then turns into young oak aromas before the malt comes to the fore again.

  • Finish:
    Intense malty, very fruity with pleasant oak notes. Lasts a very long time.
