The nose is full of apple, toffee, and almond – and still a bit raw – I would like this with even a bit more age to it. Light - grape, almond, cherry liquer, vanilla, and a bit of malt. The palate carries a bit of that cherry to it – but it is the malt which emerges here, coming in full force, but it is quite clean, and a bit roasted – like crystal malt. There is also a good kick of vanilla which sweetens it all up. Rather sweet in the grand scheme of Scotch, and a bit simple – but it is clear what the vision of the malt is, and that is achieved – an easy, light, approachable dram. The finish is sweet and malty.
