Cotton wool softness, with plums. Some grape seed tannins with a trace of anise.

I really like this. Having been a big fan of the Glen elgin 12 yr old this one is exactly the same with that lovely meaty, acidic tang softened out by the fruity cask influence.

Very fruity whisky, a lot of citrus, smooth in body but definately gaining power in the finish. Pleasant one for sure.
Nose
Very fruity, a lot of citrus, lemon, lime. Quite some alcohol noticeable but not punching. Oily, a bit grassy as well.
Taste
Quite smooth and gentle now, creamy, pretty thick. Fruity, citrus, orange, lemon and some lime. Later on some caramel- and milk chocolate sweetness.
Finish
More power now, fruity, ripe oranges and lemon. Quite warming in the belly, medium long finish.
