Region: Island, Single Malt Whisky, 40,0% abv
Price Band (£): under 30
Score: 4,5
A neat smell reminding me of Belgian waffles or fruit scone. After adding water, we find violet and some tropical flowers. The taste is simply delicious. Lily`s nectar in the finish, reasonably long and very flowery. Nice to drink without water.

Fine leather gloves and a trace of camphor. Barley sugar sweetness is balanced by ashy smoke and crushed nettles. A delightful dram.

Price Band (£): under 30
Score: 4,5
A strange combination of warmbrash paper with a splash of balsamic vinegar and caramelized sugar on nose. A blast of peaty smoke in the mouth, burning heather and laced with cooling menthol.
