Nose: Cedar, watermelon, butternut squash, strawberries, grapes, lemon sweets.

Comments:

Quite refreshing, at least the watermelon bit. Very different from the last Mannochmore, which was peated to some extent. This one is fragrant and fruity, a little perfumy, in fact. Enjoyable, as a dram to start the evening.

Verdict:

I like this.
