Review by Glen Ord

Nose

Rich, spicy fruit (think plums in syrup, preserved lemons) and sweet nuttiness (pecans). A scented, waxy note too, with light smoke, like Darjeeling tea. Water brings up the scented sweetness, without changing the nose overall.

Palate

Rich, sweet and lightly spiced with a floral lift. Light citrus acidity, drying to ginger.

Finish

Rich, sweet and lightly spiced with a floral lift. Light citrus acidity, drying to ginger.

Note

Rich, sweetly fruity and scented malt with good balance. Full gold in colour and light to medium bodied. A fine old example of the old-fashioned Highland style; and excellent all-purpose malt.
