Tasting notes by Serge Valentin (Whiskyfun.com): 89 points

Outstanding label, you would believe we're at the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul de Vence. Hope the very young whisky will be from the same cloth, so to speak.

Colour: gold.

Nose: I find it a little Clynelishy, with a buttery waxiness then butter cream and fresh raisin rolls. Quite some fudge too, as if the cask had been pretty active, then simply some big whiffs of manzanilla, with possibly a few dollops of lighter-style Jamaican rum. Young and not immature at all. With water: doughier, chalkier, with more soot and porridge.

Mouth (neat): the youth feels. Imagine someone would have blended some white Hampden with some pear juice, olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, mead and just candied zests. Very tight, almost thick, very good (I think). They made the youth an asset, it seems. With water: pretty sublime. What an utterly perfect spirit!

Finish: long, on lemons, lime leaves, wax, lemons and chalk.

Comments: dazzled, I am (but not confused, ha). One of the top-five distillates in SCO these days.
