An excellent Lowland blended malt from Douglas Laing, embodying the 'city born and bred' ethos, personified by the 1930s cheeky chappy and all-round connoisseur depicted on the label. The aroma is very buttery, complemented by notes of lemongrass, grist, and cereals, with a fruity hint of green banana and refreshing spearmint. Initially, the taste offers apples, pears, and white grapes, transitioning elegantly into grassy flavours, with chocolate fudge adding a touch of sugary sweetness. A pinch of pepper lingers on the palate, lasting into the finish. The aftertaste reveals cloudy lemonade, honeyed barley, and granary bread, delicately layered with thyme honey.
