This was my first Dornoch ever and quite honestly I am blown away & very pleasantly surprised of the quality of the dram

Nose

Beautiful nose, would have never guessed that this was an 8yo whisky, so floral & fragrant I could honestly smell this all day, extremely fresh & fruity

Body

Sweet & does not taste young at all, very fruity, apricot, salted plums, a very interesting profile, even have some umami funkiness

Finish

Long, sweet, slightly salty & dry finish
