The Gael is a 60% Malt 40% Grain blend and is a blend of some of the Oldest Whiskies in stock. Colour: Pale gold On the nose: an initial hit of ripe bananas; orange marmalade; lime cordial; delicate wood notes throughout; a subtle hint of almonds. In the mouth: a slightly oily texture; a slight burst of pepper; fruit emerges with tinned mandarins followed by lime juice; lemon bonbons; gooseberries; the oak influence is apparent but, again, not overwhelming; Juicy Fruit chewing gum; heading into the finish there are chocolate covered raisins; it becomes slightly drying which contrasts with the fruity sweetness adding an extra layer of complexity.
