Distribution of ratings for this:
Colour:
Burnished gold.
Nose:
Herbal, slight note wine, orange peel, sweet - toffee, vanilla and brown sugar.
Palate:
Sweet fruity notes - red grapes, toffee, leading to slight spice, nutmeg and butterscotch.
Finish:
Fruity, creamy and sweet but gives way to more bitter notes over time.
Overall:
Setting the bar high for all Single Grains I try from now on. Great range on the nose and palate. The herbal notes threw me a little but after that I felt like I was drinking a Dalmore with all the toffee, vanilla and brown sugar on the nose. Actually I enjoyed this more than their Single Malt which as it's around £5 cheaper a bottle that's nice to know!
I think my next Drinks by the Dram order will contain a fair amount of single grains now to see if I can find anything that competes.
Is this the one aged in rum casks? That might explain the toffee, vanilla and brown sugar.
