Distiller Notes
Colour
Honey amber.
Nose
This is a fruity, cream and very complex whisky. The initial impact is of very strong vanilla and fruit-an intricate mixture of bananas and citrus fruits. Then drier notes emerge with oak, baked bread and butter, followed by heather and honey tones.
With water the vinous notes are detected interwoven with ice cream soda and lemonade, followed by the drier notes of Glen moray, and, in particular, a whiff of peat, a hint of leather and straw.
Taste
The texture is mouthwarming with delicate spices and menthol.
Finish
The finish is medium leaving the dry tang of fruit skins (peach and grape must).
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
