Color: rich gold
Nose: Fruity-malty, moist, open, not alcoholic. Banana, quince, baked apples, candies, rubber, fresh birch cut, a light floral note. Blindly – bourbon barrel: pronounced sweetness and a hint of paint smell. Very good, although a bit simple.
Taste: balanced, slightly salty, pronounced smokiness, "industrial" notes, fruits – less distinct. Simple, original, pleasant.
Finish: short, medium-low intensity, seaweed, malt, raisins, tar.
That's the deal. Young, but excellently crafted, and the price is great – on par with many blends. A very interesting style in which traditional fruits and the smoke of the Highlands are mixed with industrial notes. A clear favorite in its price category and a quite decent, distinctive whisky overall.
