Citrus notes, nectarine and cereal
Taste:




Light to medium body, slow arrival. Sweet but not overly so. Tropical fruits and malt. Some light spiciness develops. Could do with a little more attack.
Finish:


Medium length, some peppery burn on the tip of the tongue, spicy oak.
Comment:
This malt is what I would call a good introductory malt. It does enough that is interesting to differentiate itself from most mass produced single malts. The nose is good, but the body is a little light for me, there isn't enough upfront oomph. I reckon it could be really good at 43% but that burn on the finish might become problematic. Overall, considering the price, its definitely one to try.

Finish:

Comment: a pretty straightforward highland 12 year old. Sweet and fruity, worth it if you can find it on sale as a nice summer dram.
