Bottle from Inverurie Whisky Shop. It pours clear rich golden with a thick, lively white head. The aroma is quite light, toasty grain, flour, doughy white bread, some buttered white toast and straw. The taste is crisp, dry, sharpness from the carbonation, floral, daisies in particular, straw, touch of spice, lemon peel and soda water with dry finish. Light body and high, lively carbonation (a bit too much). Fair.

Bottle thanks to James. It has 'gluten free' noted on it which is one of the tags. Appearance - a bit lively on opening. Golden with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - lemon cake, flowers and custard. Taste - more custard, creamy vanilla. Palate - light bodied and creamy. Not too light though considering the lack of gluten. Reasonably dry finish. Overall - decent.
