Color: gold
Nose: lemon, grain (typical blend-like grainy note), saltiness, quite strong alcoholic note that shows the youthness of the spirit. Caramel, light Bourbon note
Palate: Superb! Just great. Grapefruit, bitter honey, muscovado, very pleasant even though it's quite young whisky.
Finish: Cappuccino, maple syrup, orange zest
Surprisingly good. 48% ABV does a good job. Nose is a little bit sour, but not bad. Palate is very good. If you want to try something very different than the other Single Malts, this is the one for you.
Ok. I didn't check the price... I got it as a gift from my friend who has already visited this wonderful country - Scotland. I don't think, I'll buy another bottle but I give this sweetie a good, fair Maltmark.
86/100

Farbe: gold
Nase: Zitrone, Getreide (normalerweise typisch für blended Whiskies), Salzig, ziemlich starke Alkoholische Note, die zeigen dass diese Whisky etwas jung ist. Karamell, Mann merkt Bourbon im Geruch
Körper: Super! Klasse. Grapefruit, bitter Honig, Muscovado, sehr angenehm obwohl ziemlich jung Dram.
Finish: Cappuccino, Ahornsirup, Orangenschale
Unerwartet gut. 48% macht den Job gut. Nase sieht etwas sauer, obwohl gar nicht schlecht. Körper ist sehr gut. Wenn du irgendwas anderes als die andere Single Malts probieren möchtest, der Whisky ist genau für dich.
Ok. Ich kenne den Preis nicht, weil ich ihn als Geschenk bekommen habe. Ein Freund von mir war im diesen schönen Land (Schotland). Ich bin noch nicht sicher ob ich mir nächste Flasche diesen Whisky kaufen werde, aber ich kann ihn eine gute Auswertung geben kann.
86/100

Nosing: Vanille Süße Karamell Zitrone

Taste: Süße Kräuter Heu Ingwer

Finish: Heu Eiche

Comment: More interesting nose than taste. The delivery is hollow. After swallow it reminds me of a herbal spirit blend (jagermeister) until the finish takes over with a dry hay/old wood taste. This one, for me, is missing a focal point.
