Colour: white wine. Nose: yellow and white fruits, apples, whitecurrants, plums… It feels very close to its neighbour Glen Grant, or so it seems. Melon and papaya emerge next, along with a touch of rose-flavoured Turkish delight, making it aromatic, fresh and cheerful. With water: barley and apple, we’re taking a stroll through the Scottish countryside. Mouth (neat): very good, fairly lively, focusing on orchard fruits reminiscent of some excellent Longmorns we tasted a few days ago. Mirabelle plums, apples, quinces, gooseberries, then a drizzle of honey and a splash of Earl Grey. Straightforward and impeccable. With water: green fruits, a hint of watermelon, light vanilla and plenty of fresh malt. Finish: medium length, featuring lovely fruity green tea and that honeyed aspect. Comments: in my humble opinion, this wasn’t an ultra-distinctive malt but, in the end, that’s precisely what gives it charm.
