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.

    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.

    Mchael,

    Verry smoth and no smoke flavour. Loads of fruit and a hint of fudge. Excellent

    Hamish,

    A very, very generic whisky. Has no discernible flavour, I doubt it’s been in the casks for more than 5 years, and refill casks at that. The Singleton 15 is very decent, the rest of their range is average to be polite.

    Jack,

    Fairly smooth, but really lacking flavour, to call it generic would be kind. Definitely a drinker for those who don’t appreciate proper whisky. The finish is non existent.

    Howard,

    This is a very good 12 year old single malt whiskey at a reasonable price. The tasting notes shown are quite accurate. I particularly like the finish which is quite long and hangs around. The oak maturation really comes through in the taste. Very good and if often on offer but well worth the price anyway.
