Tasting notes by Jim Murray whisky writer.

Nose: Soft, lush and sweet with distant echo of bubble gum; clean, rich and honest.

Taste: Fat in the mouth with most beautiful coating of silky grain; incomplex but oak dilevers a vanilla sheen to the middle.

Finish: Remains velvety-textured despite gentle waves of spice and late oaky bitterness to balance out the simple, underlying sweetness.

Balance: A calm, genteel grain up to the usual very high Loch Lomond standards and alwaysexuding a certain, effortless touch of class.
