The nose is rather discrete and floral, without any aggressivity nor suprise. A sweet smell of flowers.
In the mouth, the same smoothness dominates, withs slightly woody notes. A nice balance.
The finish is in the same spirit, smooth and pleasant. Not too short, and smooth, just like the rest.

All the refinement expected from a great Speyside single malt is in this bottle.
The nose recognizes lots of sweet and perfumed hints. Very well balanced.
The taste of this whisky is wonderfully balanced, with the right touches of honey, malt and sweet fruit.
A very good finish, unfortunately too short. It's a pity because one would really like to enjoy it longer.

The pleasant nose is rather linear and marked by malted barley and spices (pepper). The smell palette is not very wide.
The mouth is sweet even if some slightly acid hints sometimes enhance the whole which remains rather flat, surprise less. Barley, homey, sweetness, no surprise.
The finish is of average quality in both its length and its "colour". A consensual whisky without any surprise.
2007
A rather full nose, with sweet and pleasant floral smells.
In the palate, a kind of bitter acidity, balanced by some background malted sweetness.
pleasant but too short finish, allying bitterness to sweetness.
