 Tasting Note
Colour: Pale gold; Chardonnay.
Nose: Delicate and refined with
soft hints of lemon semifreddo and top
notes of fresh straw and barley sugar.
Later, smooth honey-and-lemon and the
scent of marshmallows. With water, sweet
and floral notes: Tuberose or Turkish
delight dusted with powder sugar on a
cereal base.
Body: Rich and creamy.
Taste:
Light and drying. Immediate fresh citrus
quickly develops into liquorice and
eucalyptus notes at cask strength.
Mineral hints. Rounded, cooling and
faintly spicy with water.
Finish:
The fruit tang quickly gives way to
lengthy mature oak off-set by creamy
vanilla notes and very late menthol.
Cooling with water; silky, yet drying.
Cleansing. Appetising late cereal.
Comment:
A very delicate whisky composed of
complex, though beautifully balanced,
elements: Mediterranean citrus, exotic
florals and creamy vanilla. Long and
smooth in structure, and though light
throughout, it is never superficial.
