An excellent Highland dram that, dare I say, can rival the Clynelish and Brora of the 1970s

Nose

Tropical fruits, honey, beeswax, citrus

Body

Sweet, oily, very citrusy, oranges, spices/peppery, mineral, slightly salty & a hint of smoke towards the end. With water it gets more fruity and sweet but there’s a slight bitter aftertaste towards the end but only ever slightly

Finish

The only noticable off-note is the slight bitterness towards the end, with water the bitterness fades away
