Glass:
Classic Malt
Colour:
Extremely pale, almost water-like.
Nose:
Very pleasant with gentle soft peat alongside subtle hints
of wood and fruit. The fruit is a cross between something
tropical and citrus, perhaps like mango and lime zest. In the
background I also find a suggestion of rubber dinghy and the
aromas surrounding the dentist's surgery.
Palate:
A slightly watery mouth-feel gives
way to green apple, star fruit, pears and an open peat bonfire
on an Atlantic beach.
Finish:
Quite long and fruity in the
character of a German 'obstler' schnapps, but with added peat.
Overall Impression: This is a pretty decent whisky, better
than I had initially imagined as it offers a good combination of
peat and fruit and yes, it is quite 'big'!
