This whisky from Speyside is very well balanced, and gives of lots of aromas. In my opinion, this is one of the riches malts from this area. It is part of the "Classic Malts" from United Distillers and Vintners. This bottling is part of the "Distillers edition" and was matured in port casks, unlike the traditional version. A very great reference in the world of Speyside whiskies. Excellent, and I really recommend it.

The first nose is rather indifferent with its mix of yeast and cut grass.
In the palate, malty tastes seem to dominate some rather acid hints and discrete vanilla touches.
The finish is not very long and the memory of malty tastes remains for a certain time.

At the second nosing, the nose is characterized by a remarkable complexity, combining malt hints with some sweet floral touches.
The palate is smooth too, and the Port does not dominate the taste.
The finish, of average length, crowns the whole.
2004
A quite fruity and sweet nose announces a well balanced whisky.
In the mouth, some fresh and slightly woody hints, rather sweet too. The sweetness is enhanced by the percentage of alcohol (which gives this whisky a kind of "watery" character).
A nice finish, rather long, recalling some woody hints and a touch of chocolate....
