Tasting Notes

Nose

Aromatic toffee fruit salad — lush nectarine, custard, floral apple blossom, honeysuckle, apple peel, pear, a touch of smoke

Palate

Malty — walnuts steeped in manuka honey, vanilla sponge, gentle smoke weaving through cereal, a touch of spice, the 43% providing more body than minimum-strength malts

Finish

Long and malty — walnut, almond, though it's over a bit quickly, the gentle spirit living up to its name

Expert Review

7/10

The gentle spirit — from Scotland's highest distillery in the Cairngorms at 1,164 feet. Part of Diageo's Classic Malts range. Jim Murray awarded it 95 points. Malty, honeyed, with gentle smoke. Unobtrusive and refined — an ideal summer dram and a perfect introduction to whisky.
