Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Producer's Tasting Notes
Nose
Deliciously sweet and refreshing. On first nosing, the aroma is reminiscent of baked banoffie pie and roast chestnuts. On further nosing, cloves, pine cones and fresh mint rise from the glass, softened by creamy vanilla custard. A tingle of lemon and lime marmalade cuts through the vanilla with spiced pears followed by a breath of menthol and sea salt. Deep ripe fruits fuse with almond and vanilla. With water, the sweet effervescence of sherbet vanilla and chocolate limes burst from the liquid. A bouquet of scented violet, narcissus and chrysanthemum bring a sparkling ethereal fragrance. Cured ham with a dusting of white pepper and cinnamon is served with gentle smoked fish and green peppers, with a sprig of leafy mint on top.
Taste
Refreshing, silky and creamy to the palate, the initial sip is sweet with a mixture of sugared almonds, marzipan and hints of dried fruits. Gentle peat oils well up on the palate, remaining soft, clean and dry with a dusting of powdery parma violets. Tangy lemon juice and orange rind freshen the palate with a gentle fizz. Later tingling spices and creamy cappuccino bring a gentle warmth.
Finish
The finish is medium in length and tingly with a refreshing balance of chrysanthemum tea, clean lemon zest, creamy vanilla and hints of cinnamon spiced apple.

I tried the product which I knew also from before. However, unfortunatelly the cork cap of the bottle was rotten and fell apart as I was trying to unscrew it. As a result bits fell into the whisky which also affects the flavor. So not happy for the amount of money paid
For someone who doesn't like peated whisky, this was a great way of getting into Isla y malts in a gentler way
I liked this when I first tried it. Maybe its not for Ardbeg peat freaks but lighter than the 10 year old and very refreshing. It doesn't always have to be really intense (like a hot curry for the curry freaks). I like to chill to this one. Spend time with it and relax...
Many negative responses on this Whisky but to me its the gateway to the peaty and smokey whiskies, I really like it to be franck.... especially considering the fact that I normally only drink Highland/speyside whiskies. I am now hungry to try and taste further.
If you are new to whisky try the 10yo don't wean yourself on this.
