Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

a clean, malty and fruity style that rather hints at many ‘natural’ Speysiders. I find apples, plums, then more oranges and ‘sweet’ lemons, lemon grass, touches of ginger and then a wee earthiness combined with a little sea air, which isn’t exactly ‘Speyside’, I agree. A nice, easy, clean nose

restaurant Palate

big fruits, bubblegum, more bubblegum and then even more bubblegum. Maybe a few marshmallows as well, before many oranges start to appear, although we’re rather around squash and Fanta. Spectacularly orangey/bubblegumy, I’d say. Jelly beans and bears, Haribo-style

timer Finish

long, with a little more sugar cane syrup and barley sugar. A little lemonade too, the finish’s a little fizzy
