maple lantern5 OctThere’s a pleasing contrast between sherry notes, oak and nuttiness on the nose, and a fruit-led palate of ripe plums, dried apricots and sweet grape jam, with a hint of spice. I like that the finish is described as solid and harmonious; it gives the whisky a composed close without making a claim about its length. This reads as a rounded, measured Highland single malt.
Sweet grape jam gets a welcome lift from spice and oak.
With an unpeated label and notes centred on sherry, ripe plum and dried apricot, this reads as fruit-led rather than smoke-led. A hint of spice adds a welcome lift.
halfmoon_pebble22 AugRipe plums and dried apricots give this a warmly fruity character.
