Non-chill-filtered and no colouring added.
Colour: White Wine
Nose: Citrus initially, and some not-too-sweet vanilla. Then lots of fresh green apples. Later, quality grappa notes appear.
Palate: Really oily mouthfeel. It coats the palate as it rolls around. Smooth, almost sensual.
Strong grapefruit notes, pear, followed by a gentle maltiness.
Finish: A touch of fruitiness. Quite a long finish here, aided by that luscious oiliness.
I really like this whisky. I've had several drams of it over the last couple of weeks and have enjoyed it more each time. I really like the grappa notes on the nose and that thirst-quenching grapefruit, but really this malt, for me, is all about that palate-coating oiliness and mouthfeel. Fantastic. As a standard distillery bottling, it presents really well.
