"...very farmy, peaty, grassy... Much less sweet that any new make from Islay, for instance. Really interesting. Mouth: sweeter but very nicely balanced – incredibly balanced in fact. This one is almost a bottle aged malt and sure it doesn't really taste like new make..." (4 Stars-Whiskyfun)

Freshly distilled whisky was traditionally drunken in a causal way by distillers particularly new staffs of the distillery to know their works. This spirits is not legitimately called Scotch if it has not been matured for minimum 3 years and is neither technically a malt whiskey without 8 years in barrel. But this new-make shows good character and ready to be esterified in suitable oak barrels.
75cl. Single Malt., 57% volume.

「......很多農田、泥煤、青草味......例如比所有艾雷島新酒的甜度少得多，真是有趣。口味：較甜，但平衡感很好—其實是非常超卓。這瓶近似陳年麥芽酒，而且味道肯定不像新酒......。」（ Whiskyfun：4星）傳統上，新蒸餾的威士忌會由酒廠的釀酒師，尤其是新員工快速試飲，以便更加了解他們的出品。這些酒如果未熟成至少3年，法律上就不能稱為蘇格蘭威士忌；如果未陳釀至少8年，嚴格來說亦不能稱為麥芽威士忌。不過，這些新酒已展現優良品質，可於合適的橡木桶中酯化成香醇美酒。
