Other reviews... [Edition 1.1 tasted] Plenty of barley husks on the nose, with a whiff of porridge, and some light notes of marzipan and vanilla. Somewhat yeasty with hints of moss too. The palate is quite oily with a nice mixture of floral notes, strawberries and a good amount of bran. Also notes of apricots, pears and pickled oranges, accompanied by strong breakfast tea and peppercorns. It's undeniably young whisky but the complexity is already there. 90 points - distiller.com
