Look for a vibrant topaz hue and mellow almond aromas. The silky palate is driven by vanilla, oak and a distinctly nutty tone. Cayenne, clove and black pepper accelerate into the finish.

What critics and judges wrote
This is smooth, light, and delicious, with grilled muffins, bourbon biscuits, spice, vanilla, and well-toasted granola, with a later development of plum and blackberry. Burnt sugar and more spice on the finish.
The Busker Pot Still whiskey leans into rounder, richer flavors … Vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, and almond all come through on the palate, with a lightly fruity finish that brings out a hint of cherry.
Aromas of pear and some thick honey; the nose is sweet and malty. The palate is very woody, with strawberry jam, sweet red fruits, flavoured tobacco, and forest fruits tea. Lingering medium finish.

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.
