Tasting Notes:
“Same cask-bill, first bourbon in Barbados, then ex-malt in Scotland. Colour: light gold. Nose: very close, only a tad straighter and fatter at the same time, but at 60+%, who would tell? With water: very similar. Also touches of asparagus, wild leek… Mouth (neat): hot, grassier than its bro, with more lemon as well. Coconut, vanilla, cane juice, grapefruit. With water: citrus-led, pomelos, more grapefruit… It is a little zestier than the lovely Dram Mor. Finish: medium, pretty complex now, on various herbal teas, liquorice… And citrus of course. Comments: I like this one a notch better because of the citrus. I also have the feeling that more breathing would do it much good.”
Note: SGP:530 - 86 points.
