TASTING NOTES
Colour: Glowing amber.
Nose: Heather-honey sweetness; peaty smokiness.
Palate: Rounded smokey sweetness; full malt delivery.
Finish: Teasing, heathery, subtle smoke. Delicious.
Jim Murray Tasting Notes
Nose:One of the world's most subtle and teasing noses: delicate wafts of smoke mingle effortlessly with sweet malt, a hint of oaky salt, apples, old polished leather and trademark heather.
Palate:Intensely malty and fresh at first, and then a lingering smoky depth adds weight. Fabulous bitter-sweet balance which pans out on the sweet side with a gentle build-up of honey.
Finish:Long, smoky with a heathers dryness and spice.
Comment:This malt changes shape slightly from vatting to vatting, with the smokiness, honey, malt and heather each having turns at domination. A 12 Years Old classic.
