Bright golden amber color. Bright, inviting, floral aromas of dried blossoms, honeyed pancake, and caramelized nuts with a silky, crisp, off-dry medium body and a warming, interesting, long dried fruits, brown spices, smoky earth, and pepper finish. A great Scotch blend with a vibrant, well balanced fruit and grain flavor profile.
95 points, Beverage Testing Institute (May 2015)
Highland toffee, dried banana, salted caramel, seashells flipped from rock pools, and crispy-skinned oily fish barbecuing over a fire. Sweet toffee meets cinnamon, pepper, and clove, as an express train of smoke clatters through, leaving intense citrus peel oils and green fruits in the backwash. A spasm of spice marks the finish: arid, amid baked fruits and toffee. Leave me now, I have everything I need.
94 points, Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate (Winter 2018)
Vividly coloured, the landscape Angel Chen has crafted is rich in plush reds and majestic golds, making this a highly desirable collectible for discerning whisky drinkers. It’s also an exceptional choice for those looking to buy that important person the perfect gift to mark a successful year at work, or to wish them an auspicious start to the next one.
