Mostly fruity with green apple and a touch of pear. There's a hit of oakiness, but nothing intrusive.
Taste:




Intense flavour. Very sweet, with oranges and other mixed fruit.
Finish:
Medium length but more of a continuation of the palate rather than anything distinct.
Comment:
I wasn't sure about this one initially, but after spending a little time with it it grew on me. Its very well made and the strength is just right at 43%. There's some really good intensity of flavour on show. I'd say its on the upper end of the price range that I would pay for most NAS releases and I'd be much more amenable if it was £40-45 rather than £50. Still, good quality stuff.

Nosing:
Tropical fruit, Banana, slight smoke
Taste:
lots of fruit. orange, mango. nice and sweet with a hint of oak
Finish:
delicate fruit and medium finish
Comment:
wonderful non age statement. perfect for dipping your toes in the highland scotch's.
