Colour: gold.
Nose: superb. Fudge and butterscotch, orange cake, 'good' soap (saponin, perhaps), lamp oil, ripe mirabelles and dandelions plus lime-tea and fresh mint tea . A rounder but no-less entertaining Glenturrety nose. In other words, a civilised one.
Mouth (neat): Liquorice, citronella, baked cider apples, curry sauce, mangos, tobacco, citrons, whitecurrants...
Finish: it's really the freshness that's impressive, and the fact that it kept much distillery character while losing the.
