This is the new, ‘flat’ presentation. Colour: pale gold, paler than earlier versions (I think they stopped adding caramel). Nose: extremely typical, heathery, honeyed and with the merest hint of smoke. Not bold but playful, getting more and more flowery (hints of lilac besides the heather), with also fresh butter, apple juice and even hints of fresh pineapple and ginger. Extremely pleasant. Mouth: sure it’s not too bold and maybe even a little weakish at the attack but the profile is flawless. Hints of smoke, oranges, tangerines, apples, light honey, toasted brioche, touches of pepper… And a rather short but fresh and clean finish on honey and tinned pineapples. A perfect everyday dram I think, a little better than batches from the early 2000’s and certainly not an under-18 yo anymore.
