Powerful and hugely spicy, it erupts with concentrated lemon juice and fierce chilli before settling into bitter citrus and measured heat.

Very good review score, 85 out of 100
A charming, fruity whisky with barley, lemon, green apple and grapefruit, praised as naturally expressive and notably better than standard J&B bottlings.
