| Colour: |

|
| Pale gold. Reminds me of the old orange screens that used to be found in cheap clothes shops to stop the sun's rays from fading the fashions |

| Smell: |
|
|
|
|
| Flowers - specifically heather - with a hint of lemon and vanilla; almost like a lemon sorbet |

| Taste: |
|
|
|
|
| Whatever element of citrus there is in the smell is lost in the initial tasting, although it does rear its head in the burn at the back of the throat. Thanks to the sorbet element, it is very easy to drink - it's almost the Martini of Whisky: anytime, anyplace, anywhere, but the flowery taste does restrict you from having too many. |

| Comments: |
|
|
|
|
| This is a lovely whisky to be enjoyed at the earliest of convenience - however, it does have a very dry aftertaste, thanks to the citrus, and after a few too many, you start puckering your lips as if sucking on a lemon |
