Tasting note

A highland malt from the smallest whisky distillery in Scotland, it delivers a big bowlful of cereal-like flavour on a silky, round texture. There's also an uncanny but very pleasant note of Ivory soap on the warm finish (and, no, I didn't taste it in the shower). Score - 90. (Beppi Crosariol, theglobeandmail.com, Dec. 2, 2011)

Nose: Medium, great complexity. Thoroughly fruity, sherry, sweetness, alluring vanilla. Palate: Cloying, seductive murkiness. Rum, barley, toasted almonds. Some may find themselves lost in the mêlée, not quite enough method to the madness. Finish: Any confusion is arrested: spiced fruitcake with crème anglaise. Overall: An unusual malt.
