This is the first expression created after the reopening of the distillery, which had been closed for over twenty years.

Let's Taste It : 

Brown sugar melted in hot milk. Fern and heather. Ounce of iodised lemon. The malted barley is imposing, followed by a floral wave of violets, poppies and chrysanthemums. A hint of pear, not too juicy. Quite pleasant. On the palate, still floral, with a touch of apricot and caramel. Bark, damp sand. Light and a bit young, with expressive spices, cinnamon and pepper. Pleasant finish, but no more than that, nectarine and pipe tobacco. Grainy aftertaste. Wheat, barley, millet.

In Short, 

It's not bad, and the double maturation is quite elegant. But the distillate is still too young and the palate light, which is a shame.

Score : 82
