"...Mouth: all delicacy and elegance. Not as light as I remembered, certainly not too oaky, but there's a subtle mintiness, lovely butter oranges, a touch of angelica (quite a lot of angelica, in fact) and the most complex and elegant coastal peatiness. There's more than I remembered. Finish: medium length. Citrons, oranges, crème de menthe, genepy, aniseed... Superb ultra-clean aftertaste." (5 stars-Whiskyfun)
