The conclusions of the second tasting are very close to those of the first one, however the rating is lower this time. The characteristic complexity of malts from that area is not present in this slightly peppered malt.


The nose detects some hints of malt, with a touch of spices and fresh grass. In the palate, the malt dominates and the taste is relatively simple, without complexity. The finish is rather spicy (pepper) and shows a lack at nuances too.


A pleasant smell dominated by the malt, with may be some hints of banana announces a good Speyside whisky. The taste does not deny the first impression. A very nice whisky however without depth. A too short finish does not make it possible to continue to benefit from the pleasure a long time after drinking. This malt is above the average, but not really essential.


This whisky is rather simple at the first nosing, marked by the cereals and some spicy hints on the background. After a while, the smell palette seems to increase and spices become dominant, and later some citrus hints appear. Then the nose seems to return to its original simplicity.... In the palate, the taste is both bitter and woody, followed by some slightly acid and peppery hints. The mouth, quite pleasant without being really great is less interesting than the nose was. The finish is rather long, and the memory of a spiced malt seems to dominate. The finish is more impressing than the mouth was.
