Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

I like this whisky quite a lot. Nose of bright apple, with something floral like scented hand soap, and also a little tinge of actual soap. Palate -- yum! A burst of lighter fall fruits, with those apples from the nose, with a great spice mix (cinnamon most notably), some lemon. Finishes nicely with pleasing heat. Great/Excellent, B+/A-

Mike

Very light color

N: Grassy, lemon rind, lemon bar. Very lowland.

P: Confectioner's sugar, lemon drop.

F: Medium lemon lollipop.

Unique malt that I have had with mussels and loved.

Chris

N: First nose is bizarrely overripe smelling, like decaying fruit, and slightly butyric. The less desirable aspects fade with time.
P: Thankfully the nose does not represent the palate, what comes through is punchy fruit with mineral notes. Really enjoyable.
F: Lemon and wet stones (on the nose).
This is odd stuff, but I really like it.
