Well, this one’s got a real harmonious sort of vibe to it. There’s this lovely, delicate waxiness that I just love, like a posh candle maybe? And then the fruit comes in - green apple, a bit of gooseberry, some tropical inflections that make me think of star fruit.
Honestly, the weight and texture in the mouth feel far greater than you’d guess from the 46% it says on the bottle. It’s super rich and oily, which is marvellous. I’m getting lots of sultana, a bit of straw, and weirdly, the image of ripe banana chopped in muesli popped into my head.
There’s a proper full wee medical note in there too, which I don’t mind at all. It reminds me a bit of those old Irish Whiskeys. The finish is all ripe garden and orchard fruits, maybe a hint of pear eau de vie.
It’s dangerously easy and elegant to drink, a superbly quaffable whisky for sure. Just a shame about my great frustration with finding more of it! 😉
