Subtly sophisticated Lowland is a superb pre-dinner drink; try it taken straight from the freezer.

- Color
- Pale gold.
- Nose
- Fermenting grass clippings in the sun, light honeysuckle flowers.
- Body
- Thin, light, consistent from front to back of the tongue. Gets more oily with water.
- Palate
- Wheaty barley like a reduced wheat beer, residual copper metal, slight licorice.
- Finish
- Pretty warm but short and rather unremarkable. Little complexity of taste revealed.
Agreed this should always be served as an aperitif. It's best with some sort of salty/spicy cheese (pepper jack) on a whole wheat cracker. It's worth tasting this Lowland, though a bit simple for a lover of complex scents/flavors.

- Color
- Pale Amber
- Nose
- Light smoke, wheat.
- Body
- Full, not thick though.
- Palate
- Malt syrup, roasted nuts. Subtle flavors revealed when rolling the whisky in your mouth.
- Finish
- Warm but not searing.
This is a wonderful whisky. I know that some drink this as an apertif and that is a good choice. It can finish dinner too, if nothing too aggressive was consumed first. A better idea is to drink it with dinner.

- Color
- Straw
- Nose
- The nose is light and sweet with strong notes of malted barley and hay with a touch of fresh cut grass.
- Body
- The body is light with a fresh crispness.
- Palate
- The palate is first sweet fruits then gets more cereal with a touch of oak.
- Finish
- The finish is medium in length with a dry maltiness and some light spice.
A good dram for those spring days or early summer nights
