Goodness, gracious! That sounds like a fine dram, indeed! I shall be trying this at the next opportunity that I get. Thanks for the heads-up, Kyle.

Nose: A big, crisp, dry and very aromatic nose with hints of heather and peat.

Body: Light to medium.

Palate: Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather, honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread.

Finish: Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt.


Me and some of my Macpherson cousins at the Dalwhinnie Distillery in Inverness-shire...we thoroughly enjoyed the free drams at the conclusion of the tour.



Slainte,

Also, that bit about the difference between 'whisky' and 'whiskey' was interesting.
