Some times we seek perfection and other times we just take a punt on something that feels good value. Who is to say which this whisky was?
Aroma: Green apple acidity, Demerara sweetness, vanilla creaminess and sultana fruitiness.
Taste: This whisky starts with a golden syrup sweetness that is fruity like dried fruit. It is refined, delicate and a little shy at first.
Then it is filled by a sweet, creaminess in the middle of the dram, which is like condensed milk.
Finally, this gives way to a dry, white wine like spice. The heat builds with a ginger like spice and a round nuttiness.
Real Dram Factor: Solid, dependable and cheap. Like a set of IKEA drawers – 6.5
