Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Tasted: June 2011
The nose opens up with plenty of sweet, juicy, grassy Speyside fruit with some subtle peat, brine and fishy notes, followed by some mature Islay fruit and burnt wood. With time the sweet American oak appears along with hints of white flowers, violets and a grainy nip.
Slightly oily, quite full and thickly sweetn with honey, grass and a touch of salt. The sweet grain hits the middle, brining with it some creamy oak and hints of tangerine. There is not as much peat on the palate as the nose would lead you to believe. There’s really only an intimation at the end. It may sound like it’s a bit of a sweetie, but the gentle alcohol balances and it finishes quite dry and crisp.
