Tasting Notes

Nose

Stewed pear, cold apple pie, apricot, toffee sweetness, melon — rugged undertone of raw peanuts, salt, burnt toast

Palate

White pepper and ginger up front, then caramel, malt, fresh lactic notes — sweet fruit layered with smoky bacon, toasted nuts, oak

Finish

Long — grilled pineapple, caramel, touch of smoke, citrus pith, 'freshly washed wool' — the worm tub character throughout

Expert Review

7.5/10

The entry point to Speyside's meatiest distillery. Traditional worm tub condensers produce a heavier, sulphury spirit. 'The Goldilocks dram — sweet but not sickly, complex but not complicated, rich but not overbearing.' Non-chill filtered, 46%. The meaty character divides opinion but has earned a cult following. A Dewar's blending malt finally given its own identity.
