Nose
Bready note reminiscent of opening a warm oven with fresh baked bread. Traditional Scotchy character with light hints of medicinal and iodine notes. Fruity profile with stonefruits like pear and stone fruits, not dark fruits. Some light airy qualities.
Palate
Well-rounded for such a young whiskey without off-putting youthful notes. Subtle smoky or peated malt character, very light and not overpowering. The medicinal and iodine notes translate to a gentle introduction to those flavors without being harsh.
Finish
Clean and well-integrated without letting the base spirit get lost in the profile.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A young but accomplished single malt with a gentle Scotchy profile and subtle smoky notes that serves as an approachable introduction to peated whiskeys.
