The first nose impression are between farmy smells and hints of yeast. Discrete notes of cut grass and a light veil of smoke behind it.
The mouth seems to be better than the nose was. A kind of complexity, pleasant fruity notes and others, slightly bitter ones make the essential of the palate impressions. Traces of citrus fruit give the whole a nice freshness.
The finish is lingering and marked by the smells which were present at the nosing. Some wet hay and clear alcohol hints.
2008The nose detects a slightly acid fragrance (citrus fruit). The taste is relatively dry, and reveal citrus hints as well, and is very pleasant, despite this acid hint already present in the nose.
The finish is of average length, and some port hints mix themselves to the memories of this nice whisky.
2004Woody smells, mixed with a kind of citrus acidity characterize the ose; The particularly dry mouth reveals citrus hints and some sherry flavours. A nice finish, dry too, but lingering and quite pleasant.
2003This Northern Highlands malt is pleasant from the very first nosing. Slight fragrances (nut?) mixed with malt. The taste develops from malt to citrus fruits (slightly acid) and the finish is very long, rather dry and slightly peaty. A very good bottle, even if the general impression is that this whisky is rather acid and without exaggerated complexity.
