This nice whisky of the Speyside area can be considered as a "standard whisky", without anything really special, but without any major fault neither. It is mainly produced for the blending industry but its reasonable price makes one does not regret to have bought it.
2003The nose is marked by malted barley and quite a strong smell of yeast. A bit of smoke and some remote hay smells on the background.
In the palate, the main regret is that the percentage of alcohol is a bit too low as it gives a watery character to the whole which is far from being unpleasant. Without being very complex, this whisky has quite a large tastes palette even if all are centred on malt.
The finish is rather short and slightly bitter.
2007A nose without any depth, rather indefinable. May be some hints of cut grass, but cut since a while.
In the palate, an impression of washed-out alcohol, without particular fragrance. Alcohol, but a sweet one. A short finish devoid of interest.
This whisky is not bad, but is to range amongst the insignificant ones.

C.: Bright amber (Colouring E150a)
N.: Soft floral notes, baked apples, heather honey, throw in a small amount hazelnuts mixed with sweet milk chocolate and you get the recipe for a gentle, "elegant" but also only little upsetting nose.
T.: The gentle and soft impression gets even stronger: Lots of honey, brown sugar and sweet chocolate.
F.: Medium, here finally is an very floral and scottish highlands backbeat after the vanishing of all that honey.
C.: There's very few complexity, but nevertheless there is something very seducing in this softness which makes this dram charming and very enjoyable to go with a cigar, if you're a smoker....
