YOUTHFUL AND ZESTY - YET COMPLEX!: A 7 year old Northern Highlander from a Refill Barrel at 59.4%. "The palate showed marzipan and honey sweetness, grapefruit and lemon zestiness, plenty of fruit , some slate mineral notes and substantial heat leaving a mellow after-glow."

Panel's Tasting Note: "Youthful whisky at its best – nosing of cut grass, delicate florals, dry white wine and lemon sherbet – attractively spring-like, but also complex – pencil shavings, clove, vanilla, crème brûlée and eventually liquorice. The palate showed a good personality –marzipan and honey sweetness, grapefruit and lemon zestiness, plenty of fruit (apple, grape, blackcurrant), some slate mineral notes and substantial heat leaving a mellow after-glow. The reduced nose seemed sweeter – pear juice, American Cream Soda and Jolly Ranchers. The palate increased the wood and flint notes but became milder, the heat more a tingle and less of a nip. Nearest distillery to Glenmorangie."

Drinking Tip: "The light, zesty character would make this a good spring or summer aperitif."
