G&M, Auchroisk, distilled 1993, 43% ABV

Connoisseurs Choice

Typical cost of this bottle; €€€€€ (70cl not mini)

Glass: Spiegelau

Colour: Light yellow

Nose: A mixture of honey, lemon and malt

Palate: Hints of honey with liquorice and a selection of summer berries and redcurrant coming to the fore. Very warming and gentle.

With 3 drops of water: The nose has more honey and warm bread, but the palate suffers.

Finish: Quite long with the redcurrants providing a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Overall Impression: I like the faint berries, but after this experience, don't add water, it's fine without!
