Finish: Tingling ginger. Short but fresh.
Comment: Good energy, balance with surprising weight.
8.0
Taster Martine Nouet
Nose: Refreshing and gentle. Summer fruit. Melon. Vanilla pod. Touch of new leather. Developing on cooked fruit notes. Pear pie. Stewed peaches. Yeasty.
Palate: Delivers nose promises. Smooth and silky.
Finish: Fruity, gentle and slightly nutty.
Comment: Classic, gentle and pleasing. A consensual malt. Good match with salmon and light seafood dishes.
7.8
A hint of peat smoke, combined with a salty maritime flavour. Citrus orangey notes are also present in both the nose and on the palate, and the sweeter honeyed notes give our malt a smooth silky finish.
Look for pleasant sweetness and spice up front, as the nose offers a complex mix of oak, maple sugar, fresh apple, clove, black pepper and cinnamon. The flavors dry to a spicy midpalate before exiting on a long, concentrated maple-like note.
The nose is floral, with honey, toffee, cereal, and a hint of smoke, but subtle maritime notes are also present. The palate is rich and relatively complex: spicy, with citrus fruit, more cereal, seaweed, peat smoke, and oak. Lengthy in the finish, with toffee, new leather, and perpetual spice. A long-standing favorite with a very distinctive profile. Gavin Smith, Fall 2019.
