    Color
    Golden amber (light beer like)
    Nose
    Light oak, honeysuckle and citrus
    Body
    Very light almost dainty
    Palate
    One note. Very light oak flavor with some light floral and fruit under tones.
    Finish
    Short finish that is very tame. Aside from the price certainly a good beginner’s scotch.

    Very under whelming scotch.

    Color
    Golden straw
    Nose
    Sweet, a hint of smokiness
    Body
    Light, rolls around your tounge easily.
    Palate
    This is one of the more earthy malts I've tasted. It has a mild, generic sweetness, but it doesn't really remind me of any certain flavor.
    Finish
    The earthiness continues through the finish. Lingering mild smokiness is there is you're looking for it.

    If it was $10 USD cheaper, I'd view this malt much more favorably. It is an easy-to-drink malt that works well as a daily dram, but it lacks distinction. There is nothing wrong with it... it just doesn't have anything special. Even poor quality malts have something that distinguishes them. This one doesn't. It is pleasant and easy to drink, but doesn't differentiate itself in any way.

    Soft but grainy

    Dual taste of peaty salty flavours and ethanol.

    Unpleasant.

    Not as good as expected from a 15 year old matured single malt.

    Color
    Gold, like a flat pilsener beer
    Nose
    Sweet fruit, grassy soil, more so with a few drops of water (also aerate this one a fair bit to reduce the phenolic attack on the nose).
    Body
    Light bodied, thin feel on the tongue even though the legs on the glass were pretty viscous. Again, a few drops of water improves the buttery feel on the tongue.
    Palate
    Confirms the nose, fruity malt, a grassy salad with fresh ground white pepper at the tail end.
    Finish
    Medium warm but quite long. A little more attack than other 15's I've tried.

    This is a nice representation of the Highlands - fruity malt and grassy, with a light pepper finish. I suggest water drops and patience aerating this one for best results. On final tastings of this malt, I dropped it a couple points due to some unwarranted/undesired phenolic attack.
