I’d almost forgotten how exotic Lochside’s fruitiness could be. Here, alongside a little musk, soft smoke, and blackcurrant buds, we find an entire container of passion fruits plus some pink grapefruits to complete the profile. I don’t think any grand fruity malt (old Bowmore, Laphroaig, Littlemill, Bushmills, Clynelish, etc.) ever showcased a profile even vaguely similar. With water: the pink grapefruits take the lead, joined by a hint of Petit and Grand Manseng wine
restaurant Palate
a bag of fruit sweets. Lemon, orange, mango, blackcurrant, redcurrant, pineapple, and, of course, passion fruit. It then transitions into a pure ‘maracuja sherbet’. With water: its only, very slight flaw is a touch of monotony. After adding water, you end up with something resembling a mix of passion fruit and blackcurrant juice—let’s say a 75/25 split
timer Finish
much the same
