Comments:

Strange tasting - very much like a Rosebank, with the fruity brassy light character. But somehow the lemon notes overpower the other flavours. I couldn't find much in this. Jim Murray describes this as a "disaster" but I disagree. It's great if you like your lemon, but I prefer it in moderation. My first foray into Lomond still whisky doesn't look too promising, but it wasn't a disaster. "Not bad" will do.

Verdict:

Not bad.
