Members' comments | "A fine, alcoholic malt with a smooth, sweet finish". "Subtle taste overpowered by the alcohol". "light and enjoyable". "Not outstanding, but exceeding pleasant". "Light, Glenfiddich-type". "Stronger alcohol than found with previous experiences. The malt flavour is a welcome and pleasant feature, which saves the whisky from being alcoholic". "Pleasant malt which wakes you up with a good wallop of alcohol before getting to taste it". "Pleasing light drop of smoothness". "Pleasant with no strong characteristics. The alcohol is lasting". "Fruity and sweet with a surprisingly dry finish". "A good warming Scotch". |
