“This blended malt is hedonistically fruity on the nose, with lifted aromas of guava, kiwi and cassis, leading into dark marmalade, hazelnut praline and chocolate ganache. But it’s a shapeshifter, with the palate almost austere by comparison – plenty of structure, a whisper of earthy smoke and a mildly drying finish.”

Richard Woodard

Decanter Magazine
“96 / 100. Drinking this whisky was an amazing experience. It really swept me away. It’s clear and bright, the aspects of a younger scotch remain but the harsher sides have worn down. A dram that I expect even non whisky drinkers will greatly enjoy.”

Drambling Man
“The first impression on the nose is of white grape must backed by roasted pineapple and bruised apple, with light cereal notes at base.”

Charlie McLean MBE

Character

Astonishingly bright on the nose with notes of fresh pineapple, barbecued fruit and a delicious Victorian sweet shop character. On the palate, the tropical theme continues with delicious charred fruit sweetness alongside a creamy caramelised barbecue smoke and bright zesty citrus. A true one-of-a-kind.

Significance

Distilled in the early 80’s in the era of brightly coloured, tropical flavoured cocktails it is perhaps only natural that this Speyside Blended Malt has taken on notes of pineapple and mango throughout its time in cask. The emergence of flavours such as this is unusual, inexplicable and reminds us of the magical process that takes place between cask and spirit over time.
