What they say:

A unique expression of selected malts. An elegant, malty blend selected from distinguished Highland & Speyside distilleries.

What I say:

Sampled during Milroy’s of Soho Tweet Tasting 2

Nose:

Very light & delicate, little estery & fruity [spey?]. Apples & pears and custard, grassy green malt [no smoke here yet either?]. Perhaps a wee hint of new wood shavings. Young spey in 2nd / 3rd refill bourbons but a hint of grain whisky too – I’d say blend

Taste:

Again light and a little oily slightly drying white pepper on finish – no strong flavours.

Finish:

Short and sweet/light

Overall:

Pleasant but a little bland – young spey/blend, minimal cask influence.
