What critics and judges wrote

Whisky Advocate · Jonny McCormick · 2019
A delicious dram with a sunny disposition, this drums out aromas of butter biscuits, raisins, vanilla sugar, cane honey, and abundant tropical fruit notes of guava and papaya. … they should have done this years ago.

World Whiskies Awards judges · Bronze · 2023
The nose brings notes of pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg followed by hints of caramel and apricot. … The sweet caramel note continues into the finish with an added hint of ginger.

IWSC judges · Gold · 2022
Delightful fruit and oak aromas with some hints of beer and hops. The luxurious and creamy palate is gently sweet with a fruit character that continues to enthral. A fine, floral backdrop, and a complex finish.

Malty with notes of sweet vanilla spice and orchard fruit flavours.
Silver2021iwsc.net ↗
A floral opening with raisin and liquorice providing the base tones. Tarry robustness, with a certain earthy charm, and a complex blend of spices on the finish.
Silver2020iwsc.net ↗
Honeyed fruit with hints of wax on the nose, rounded and viscous mouthfeel with gentle peat smoke and touches of oak spice. Full bodied and firm.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
