The whisky presents an intriguing bouquet dominated by buttery popcorn, sandalwood, and green banana, with secondary notes of lemon bonbons, chalk dust, and pineapple tarts. Water reveals additional complexity including pressed flowers, oatcakes, cereals, and Turkish delight.
The palate is rich with cereal notes, linseed oil, and hints of candied hazelnuts and limoncello liqueur, complemented by vibrant lemon and lime citrus. Reduction enhances the oiliness and develops herbal qualities such as verbena and bay leaf, alongside notes of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
The finish showcases pistachio cake and jelly babies with lingering herbal and seed-driven notes that provide a complex and satisfying conclusion.
A playful and very intriguing nose was dominated initially by buttery popcorn, sandalwood, green banana and party rings. We also noted lemon bonbons, chalk dust, pineapple tarts and battenberg cake. Water brought out pressed flowers, oatcakes, cereals and Turkish delight. The neat palate was full of rich cereal notes, linseed oil, touches of caraway and hints of candied hazelnuts and limoncello liqueur, plus some lovely lemon and lime citrus vibes. Reduction brought an oiliness to the texture and some more complex herbal qualities such as verbena and bay leaf. We also noted sunflower and pumpkin seeds, pistachio cake and jelly babies.
