Tasting Notes by Angus MacRaild (Whisky Consultant & Author)
Nose: Clean, grassy and with the impression of delicate sweetness. Very textbook modern Speyside malt, slightly masked by the high natural ABV. With water: a much richer profile emerges, many more base cereal notes develop, with cedar, cooking oil and face cream notes all coming through.
Palate: The alcohol is dominant at cask strength, but the underlying distillate is flawless and focused on lemon, green fruit and grassy notes. With water: once again a rounder and more balanced, yet still highly typical, profile emerges. Still rather green and citric, but with more oils, breads and toasted cereal notes coming through.
Finish: Medium, slighlty drying, tilting towards the cereals and breads.
Comments: Probably a cask you could sit on for anywhere from 10-30 years. Impeccable distillate but perhaps not immediately ready for bottling.
