| Нос | 87 | Honey, vanilla and biscuit. |
| Вкус | 88 | Orange, vanilla, salted caramel, biscuit and solvent. |
| Финиш | 88 | Burnt caramel, chocolate cookie and tangerine. |
Very pleasant whisky, with a lot of sweetness, berry fruitiness, 'green' vibes, pretty spicy and even bananas in the finish. Give it some time, and you'll get rewarded.

| Нос | 88 | Very sweet smooth, vanilla, citrus, lime, then some red fruits, berries, cherries, a bit of sour touch. Also some whiffs of glue, even after leaving it breathing quite some time. Plants-vibes, 'green'. Alcohol noticeable but not punching at all. Rich nose. |
| Вкус | 87 | Quite powerful now, spicy, pepper. Typical grainy sweetness, vanilla, and a lot of red fruits, berries, raspberry more specifically. Later on more plant-vibes again, 'green', and things get more smooth and creamy. |
| Финиш | 88 | More smooth and quiet now, with still a little spicy pepper touch. Far away even a little smoky touch now. Again a lot of grainy sweetness, vanilla, some bananas peep in now, candy-like, the 'Haribo banaantjes'. Long finish. |

Quite spiky and solventy initially but any old grain should really be left alone for at least close to an hour. And this dram definitely improves in the glass over time.

| Нос | 87 | Fruity, sweet and sour, sponge cake, grated coconut, model kit glue, candle wax and honey. Initially this is slightly too solventy but this resides after 45+ minutes. A lighter style of fruitiness with unripe white/honeydew melon and unripe apple which veers towards dried fruit notes over time. Caramel, toffee and chocolate eventually; a mild green/vegetal note develops after a while, green herbs, fresh green peppers with sawdust, light cardboard and a dry nuttiness in the background. |
| Вкус | 88 | Quite clean and peppery initially, so I'm adding (over time) about 10% of water. After some 45 minutes to an hour it has become creamy and more fruity. Still some notes of glue and candle wax; honey, vanilla sponge cake and lighter white fruits like melon and pear, but also dried apple, sultanas and an added lemony sourness. When leaving this in the mouth for longer than about 20 seconds the pepperiness returns, furthermore dark chocolate and coffee bitters are introduced. It dries out eventually on mild green herbs, sawdust, clove and some ground black pepper. |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium length: vanilla cream, bitter lemon, chocolate and coffee notes, drying quite quickly, leaving wood bitters, a peppery spiciness and charred wood. |
What a fantastic choice these guys made! The whisky truly has everything you'd expect from an "older" single grain, only with a little something extra thanks to the Amontillado casks—DELICIOUS! Personally, I'd definitely give it a 90+, but compared to my whisky score list, I can't go higher than an 87. And the 57.6% ABV... you can hardly even praise it, it's wonderfully integrated.

| Нос | 89 | Nothing modest...hop right there...sure...more time to see how different it becomes |
| Вкус | 89 | Chewing grains...haha...delicious. grassy. Nothing chemical...perfecto |
| Финиш | 85 | A little blander. Great, but just a little less......the taste still lingers, but less of that full mouth. |
WDS and grains are pretty much always an hit. P/Q is very well balanced here.

| Нос | 88 | Burst of sweetness, loads of vanilla, red berries and some honey in the background. Yet all this comes after at least an hour of breathing time. Which is normal for a good grain. |
| Вкус | 88 | Without water an explosion of sweetness red fruit candy and some vanilla ice-cream. With water it becomes way more creamy and dense. More vanilla ice-cream with red berry sauce. |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium length. A little less then expected. One would expect a long finish, yet this isn't. There is all which is in the nose and taste and fades away rather quick. Yet no bitter notes too. |
Poured it, smelled it, left it. For an hour plus it stood there, doing its thing. And it improved as expected, so yes, typical grain behaviour. At first. Rum raisins, dried peaches, a fine herbs liqueur. Very aromatic, sweet but also powerful. A good splash of water (1.5 -2 teaspoon) made it really creamy. Condensed milk, those aromatic herbs again. A very nice spiciness. Hazelnut chocolate paste in the dying end - nice. Really enjoyable. Those older Girvans by WDS are all really good. Ones to keep an eye on!
