"Brilliant golden amber color. Roasted nut, caramel, dried heather, and delicate sherried oak aromas follow through to a very round, smooth and dry medium body of dry caramel, delicate peat, and nut shell flavors. Finishes with nicely warming toffee and mellow white pepper fade with a touch of river stones. A very solid and mild blended Scotch."

"The nosing finds dry grainy notes with background scents of dried flowers and parchment, and deeper fragrances of light toffee, almond paste and yellow fruit. Entry is oily, buttery and semisweet; the whisky dazzles at midpalate with layered flavors of brown butter, cooking oil, barley malt and oatmeal cookie underpinned by the single malt foundation. Concludes smoky, satiny and ultra-sophisticated." 90-95 pts.

"Pure amber color. Buttered toast and grain, buckwheat honey, and mossy stone aromas. A silky entry leads to a dryish medium body of honey buttered wheat toast, roasted nuts, dried banana, and peppery spice. Finishes with a lingering toffee, wet stone, and spice fade. A rock solid blend."
