Member Ratings and Notes

Mike

This is a whisky that demands you wine and dine it before it puts out. But its worth it. With time exposed to air and to develop on the palate, its a very interesting and stimulating experience.

N: Fruity, berry tart, apple pie, smells so good.

P: Orange rind, creeal malt, currants, raisin and rum, butter. Slow at first then explodes with these flavors.

F: Currants. Dries out for a while. Then after a little time the tannic elements come out, some spice. Really keeps you contemplating what's going on. Will go under your radar if you don't pay attention.

Andy

Nose: Light and springtimey. Fabric softener

Palate: Walnut oil and flavored soap (not referring to it as soapy, a bad thing). A solid but not stellar spirit.

Chris

N: Intense citrus.
P: Big fruity profile with bananas and peaches. Oh yeah, I'm getting more into this type of profile.
F: Gets a little spicy and vegetal, what a way to finish.

Rob

Apricot, spice, sherry. Delicious. Fruity without being weak; a fruit monster with punch. This one is fantastic.

Adam

Ooh, this is all about really neat, fruity stuff all intertwined in a.... fruity adjective goes here.... with something approaching spicy. A really pleasant whisky, hard to describe but not to drink.

Dave

Nice spicey sweets and fruity tropical flavors. A really great nose with more spice than fruit on the pallate. Exactly how I like it. The finish has some heat and is medium. One of the better profiles.

Sweet, candied, fruity nose. A bit more mellow on the palate, some sherry, banana, oak, lots of vanilla, very smooth. Much longer finish than expected. Very good.
