Review by: Red Hare
Color: Straw gold
Nose: Citrus grapefruit. Coconut, a little chocolate. Some pineapple lurking underneath. Fresh cut grass. Oak.
Body: Syrupy and heavy. Sits in a little ball on the tongue.
Palate: Salty and tangy. The coconut and chocolate turn a little milky. Hay. Dried raisins and apricots. A little water brings out some peat.
Finish: Long finish, and complicated. Chocolate at the start. Oranges become pomelos become grapefruit become lemons at the very end.

Interesting. Tastes a little like a Bounty Bar. In South East Asia they eat a relative of the grapefruit called a pomelo, sweeter with a floral scent. The finish of this whisky has that in spades.
