"This one from two hogsheads this time. Colour: straw. Nose: we’re much closer to the G&M this time, unsurprisingly, with this grassy side, but there’s more custard, dried apricots, melons, also fern and moss… The extra ageing has brought depth and complexity, but of course it’s no extravagant Speysider. With water: moss up! Stirling work (geee, S.!) Mouth (neat): sweets! Melon drops, tangerine, quite a lot of lime and lemon… You’d think this is distilled Chenin blanc. Very different this time. Also chlorophyll. With water: same profile. Should you enjoy your malt a tad citric, this is for you. Finish: long, very zesty, as if you just had a wee glass of limejuice. Comments: a surprise, really. Worth hunting down… SGP:651 - 86 points"
