This whisky has been called a lot of things in its time: smooth, fruity, complex, sophisticated, entertaining, classic. The Original Malt Whisky Almanac says: “A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world – deservedly so.” The nose is fruity and summery; the well-balanced palate brings more fruit, with strong pineapple notes and a long, creamy, smooth finish.
