During the second tasting, the complexity seemed to have disappeared, and the sweet honeyish character was dominant. The freshness of the first tasting was not there anymore. A kind of disappointment...
A rather floral nose with some discrete grass hints.
The taste is somewhere between sweet and bitter, with a relative complexity. It does not really taste like a very great whisky.
The finish is rather sweet.
The Lowland whiskies are not famous for their complexity, but this bottle is the exception to the rule. All the sweetness of a Lowland, with its hints of cut grass allied to the strength of a raced whisky leaves a delicious impression in the mouth for a while. The only trouble is the price of the bottle, but this is quite normal when the recent history of the distillery is kept in mind. A new example of the know-how of the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail.
The nose is marked by smells of malt and wax combined to hint of hay and other farmy smells covering light floral notes.
In the palate, clear hints of lavender appear behind some rather neutral malty fragrances, leaving a kind of watery feeling in the mouth.
The finish is relatively sweet, rather short and clearly marked by some violet hints.
