The nose is quite Alsace-eque and full with soft, white pear and peach balanced by a very fresh citrus note. Quite gristy with a late spice note.
The palate is quite sweet and gristy, again with plenty of citrus and pepper notes. Lovely intensity of slightly perfumed white fruit with a hint of vanilla oak. Good length with a refreshing finish. Surprisingly good for such a young malt.

A fresh and youthful nose of cut grass, high toned marc-like botanical and a touch of lemon.
The palate is equally light and fresh with hints of citrus, barley, vanilla and gentle spice. It finishes with a touch of marc but its balanced by a light honey sweetness.

A slightly musty nose of baked fruit and cardboard. There is something of the Tobermory about this nose!
The palate is a little flat with some baked fruit and barley but the cardboard note is pervasive and the finish is a bit thin.
