Nose: White peaches, wax cleaner, tangerine, lightly grassy, whiffs of mint, biscotti, malty and fresh bread.

Palate: Nails the nose, with a nice tart note to balance the sweetness. Lemon drop, white tea, candied ginger, pepper and rose petals. A slight butteriness on the lips.

Rating: 7 / 10 – this is beautiful in its simplicity and balance. It doesn’t have crazy depth or flavor profile, but it absolutely shines in what it does here and the pairing between nose and palate. This drinks like a classic Clynelish whisky.
