Other reviews....
I think I haven’t seriously tried this well-known baby since 2004. According to the label, this version was ‘triple cask matured’. The rate things are going I guess we’ll see quadruple cask bottlings in 2010. Colour: straw. Nose: very malty, very cereally, with whiffs of ripe apples and pears flying around and hints of mint. No thrill but good balance, a perfect access-category malt so far, reminding me of Cardhu, Knockando or... Chivas Regal. Mouth: sweet, easy, not weak, malty and grainy, with some caramel, marshmallows, orange cake and a little liquorice. Hints of toasted bread. Finish: rather short but balanced, malty. Roasted nuts. Comments: not bad at all, hard to say more, this one doesn’t inspire me any maltoporn.
