Other reviews... From 'The valley of the Rocks'. Got to love those valleys, deer, brambles, tranquillity, now rocks… Don't they have a valley of the bagpipes too? This one's got everything as far as casks are concerned, oloroso, PX, red wine, virgin oak… Colour: rich gold. Nose: sweet, fruity easy, with pear liqueur, gooseberries, pineapples, guignolet (cherry liqueur), wine gums, coconut, marshmallows…  No oak bomb this time, that's very cool.  Mouth: indeed, sweet and easy, full of liqueurs and bonbons, orange drops, cream eggs, grenadine… Finish: medium, very sweet. More jellybeans. Cassis jelly, pomegranate syrup, Red Bull… Spices in the aftertaste. Comments: a very good, easy, sweet, syrupy young malt whisky. 82 points - whiskyfun.com

Notes from the producers... A nose of heather honey, butterscotch and cinnamon, followed by waves of ginger, toasted almonds and mocha lead to a pallet with lashings of treacle, dried sultanas and butterscotch, with cinnamon, peppermint and honeycomb.
