2008, SMWS
Single malt - East Highlands
Golden
53.2% ABV
Dram

Nose: Peaches, coca cola, oranges, lemons, brass polish, hints of smoke.
Mouthfeel: Light body, hot, thickens quickly.
Tasting: Sweet sour. Apples, pears, lemons, orange peel, peaches, pistachios, hints of jasmine.
Finish: Medium. Pears, peaches, hints of smoke.

Comments:

Flowery and fruity, with a punchy tangy sweetness that sits strangely with the high alcohol content and light body. This whisky draws you in, and demands that you drink more. I had another couple of drams just sitting and thinking.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
