A blended whisky, made with a 50% grain whisky from a distillery in Fife, where the one grain distillery is the Cameron Bridge distillery, so that's an easy guess. The other 50% come from the towns of Alness and Longmorn. My guess and research gets me to Teaninich from Alness, Linkwood and Glen Elgin from the Longmorn area. Lovely choices...

40% abv, €45, blend, non-chill filtered, natural colour

Nose: sweet, vanilla, fruity, peaches, citrus, grapefruit, spicy, white pepper

Palate: sweet, sugar, vanilla, smooth, gentle, fruity, peaches, grassy, citrus, orange peel, a hint of cardamom and cinnamon

Finish: medium long, spicy, cinnamon, sweet, vanilla
Mark: +++/++ 

Conclusion: a very likeable dram, recommended to try if you find a bottle somewhere. She is rich and balanced from the first sniff to the very end of the finish with nothing much not to like about her.

More info: all whiskies have matured in first fill American Oak ex-Bourbon.
