Another nice whisky from the Speyside area amongst so many others. The ageing in port casks makes the greatest difference with the official version. Unlike other whiskies matured in port casks, the alcohol impression is strong, and it hides a bit the sweet character which is typical of this kind of aging. One more bottle one is happy to have, even if it is not essential.

The nose is first rather discrete, with a hint of smoke on a background of hay and fruits, somewhere between pear and prune.
In the mouth,a nice mix of malt and a slightly acid hint, followed by a clear fruit taste.
A nice finish, marked by the fruits.

At the second tasting, the nose was much more promising, revealing a definite smell of smoke, hay on a fruity background.
A rather great complexity in the palate, due to the contrast between the port sweetness and the malt hints. A kind of freshness and touches of discrete acidity.
The finish is long and pleasant, and recalls the fruit hints. The first quotation was probably too low, considering the pleasure I had during the second tasting.

A second tasting of this delicate whisky with a discrete but complex smell changed my mind. The rather discrete nose reveals slight malt hints with some sweet fruity notes.
The palate is rather sweet, probably due to the effect of the port, and this time I haven't been bothered by the alcohol impression like the first time.
A finish of average length prolongs the pleasure.
