Light, floral, but with less of the crisp green apple seen across the road, here there are more soft pears, creaminess and fresh mint. Though this could perhaps be down to the differently shaped stills being installed during the 1967 expansion, it doesn’t fully explain why, when Glen Grant-style stills were re-installed in 1985, the two distillery characters didn’t match.
