Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Producer's Tasting Notes

    • Appearance

      Deep gold, polished mahogany highlights.

    • Nose

      Approachable and rich. First polished wood and nuts (toasted hazelnut) dominate, then rich fruits, both stewed (baked apples) and dried (sweeet dates) take over, with soft brown sugar. Behind this, a stick of liquorice. Mossy. Water brings out a sweeter, more direct Speyside character (citrus fruits, pear drops!). Clean and dense. After a while, warm, dry aromas of pencil shavings or match-sticks.

    • Body

      Smooth. Medium.

    • Palate

      Sweetness and crunchy nuts impress at first, then there's a smooth, fruity Speyside richness to enjoy. Firm, with a balancing sweetness: hints of blackcurrant fruit, brown sugar and espresso coffee. Warming and pleasant. With water, still a pleasant texture. Light sweetness, then chewy and balanced by a light acidity, with a good spread of flavours mid-palate.

    • Finish

      Medium to long. Elegantly drying and crisp; then a sweetly nutty delayed warmth, which lingers pleasantly.

    Keith Lloyd,

    Very underwhelming. Personally I find this very bland. On first opening I had high hopes but after tasting I couldn't understand the amount of positive reviews. Purchased on offer i still felt like I'd paid £10 too much, the aldi 8yr old is better for £15. Balvenie 12, Talisker 10 are far superior

    Mr Lewzey,

    I have had this twice this year and have to agree with one of the other reviews here. Generic is the term. Hard to believe this is a "12 year old single malt". But that is just my own opinion. Try it. Even if only to say that you have. Lastly. For this price tag I would easily reach for the Glenlivet 12. Every time I try it I think to myself "this is so well made"

    StanB,

    My brother sent me a bottle of this after I was involved in a car accident (not my fault ). Smooth, rich, a hint of marzipan? Who cares? It is a very drinkable whisky. I've tried it with and without water and unusually I prefer it without. Your milage may vary but I rather like this.
