Almost Unpeated

 

 

 

Launched to replace other expressions from the same brand, notably Blended, this whisky is particularly well-suited to cocktails.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It :  

Lemony nose, grain and cereals, cashew nuts and peanuts, all well-balanced of course, but very light too. White grapes, plums, a floral touch, daisies and chrysanthemums. On the palate and finish it's very gentle, vanilla, citrus, lemon and grapefruit, almond, a trace of peat, but you have to look hard enough. Sandy earth, sunshine, pineapple, a few grains of salt, this is a summer whisky. Pine thorns. It's so light that it barely feels like alcohol.

 

In Short, 

Maybe it works in a cocktail, but pure, it's pointless, though flawless. The price is fairly low, but it's still too expensive for what it is.

Score : 79
