Speyside, Spey

We found ourselves in classic refill wood territory with a clear view 'under the bonnet' of this wonderful distillate. Initial aromas noted included scented wood, snapped twigs, banana bread, wheat cereals, starched linens and sunflower oil. Extremely satisfying we felt. With water we got flamed orange peel, chalky limestone, aged citrus peels, herb butter, limoncello and yellow flowers heavy with pollen. The neat palate possessed a notably oily texture and some lovely notes of cough mixtures, lemon barley water, tiger balm and linseed oil. Once again refill wood at its best. Reduction brought earth turmeric, marmalade on slightly burnt toast, sandalwood and many fresh notes of wildflowers.
