My Tasting Notes

Nose: Weak, a bit of vanilla
Palate: Very spirity, flat, no much to speak of
Finish: Short and meaningless
Overall: The only good thing I can say about this expression is that it is discontinued. If you happen to find a bottle, avoid it! This is a perfect example of an NAS statement used to disguise immature whisky.

Score: 55/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$

My Tasting Notes

Nose: A bit timid first but gets stronger later. Cut grass, Vanilla, later ripe fruit.
Palate: Slight sherry, mint, chocolate, rather spicy
Finish: Long and spicy, leaves you with a whiff of smoke.
Overall: Very complex, you can find something different in every dram. But still not my favorite.

Score: 82/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$
