This expression was the distillery's best known and easiest to find before it was replaced by the 12-year-old in 2017.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

The nose is light, a bit fruity, a bit floral, with hints of apple, pear and chrysanthemum. Sweet, slightly cereal-like fragrances. On the palate, not very balanced for my taste, rather strong and thick apricots, not sufficiently counterbalanced by unripe peaches. All in all, it seems quite young. A pinch of pepper. Finally, I didn't like the acidic and aggressive finish, like lemon concentrate. Fortunately it's short, and it's the first time I'm happy about it.

 

In Short, 

I didn't like it at all, in fact it's the worst Single Malt I've ever tasted. To be avoided at all costs. The new 12 year old from the same distillery, while not stunning, is much better.

Score : 77
