Tasting Notes
Robert Karlsson	Mature sweet fruits (apricots, mandarins) and fresher vanilla also. Spicy. Round. Big. Attractive sweet fruits and a delicate vanilla below that. Well-balanced and not at all aggressive in any way. Strangely enough drier with time, and tiny hints of dry smoke appears? Hm. Difficult one.
Rich Howard	the nose is mostly on grains (wheat bread, oatcakes) and polished wood, a handful of field grasses, hints of apples and apple skins. after a few minutes, some warmer notes of pistachio nuts emerge. the palate is full of sweet malt, plenty of herbs and quite wooded. a drop of water opens up more apples and pears on the nose, and a splash of vanilla. the palate is actually a touch less sweet now, still herbal, and still wooded. summary: no surprises here, an herbal, nutty, wooded whisky with light fruit.
