First impressions are of smoked bacon, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce crisps and charred coal.  Then a soldering iron and a remote control car kit are found in the ‘everything else’ drawer.  The palate has crispy bacon and whole wheat noodles with black bean and dark soy sauce.  Also teriyaki beef and a warm barbecue smoke.  The reduced nose is slightly sweeter with hints of aniseed and lemon meringue pie with a burnt crust.  Later cigar boxes and an engineer’s freshly cleaned overalls.  From a Thai village kitchen to a Chinese laundry the palate is laced with Eastern flavours and a subdued sweet smoke.  This Aberdeenshire distillery has ‘big height’.
