De officielle smagsnoter på 'Flying Turf':
Colour: Deep amber.
Aroma: Initially the top notes are medicinal lozenges and menthol combined with the sweetness of mint humbugs, then aromas of intense lime fruitness and lemon sherbet prickles the nose. Soft ripe figs and also melon can be detected, along with a hint of sea spray and smoky treacle toffee in the background.
The addition of water releases beeswax and honeycomb cut through with more lime, now more lime cordial and also grapefruit halves dusted with icing sugar. Sherbet, citrus peel marmelade and gooseberries are then discovered along with blackcurrant bushes as the subtle background hints change to aromatic wood smoke.
Taste: Rich and fruity; all the citrus fruits found on the nose appear on the palate wrapped in gentle peat smoke; reminiscent of slightly charred toast spread with mixed breakfast marmalade and fruit dipped in dark bitter chocolate. Deep flavours of liquorice, glacé cherries and rich roasted coffee beans emerge late with islay notes of menthol and just a hint of tobacco.
Finish: Long and chewy as the background smoke lingers with predominant citrus flavours and hints of liquorice.
Tasting notes: Dr W B Lumsden - Master Distiller.

Colour: Gold
Nose: A heavy and lively mix of aromatics, this single cask reveals an amazing balance of rich savoury and sweet flavours, setting an expectation of depth and intensity. At full strength, the aroma is initially rich and raisiny with hints of fruit cake and coffee. Then rich beefy savoury flavours emerge wtih black olives, smoky bacon a hint of salami and rich peat oil in the background.
With water: The aroma increases in aromatic oils revealing layers of lemon and lavender oil and aniseed. Beneath the oils, a soft creaminess is discovered with hints of peat and lemoncurd, reminiscent of eating a lemon meringue pie with a mountful of simmering cappucino coffee with cacoa powder on top.
Taste: The mouth-feel is smooth and exceptionally oily and chewy with a lightly mounth-coating effeect.
The taste is rich, sumptuous and full-flavoured revealing a beguiling mix of lemon oil and barley sugar intermingled with walnuts, treacle and dates. There is a big smoky middle which brings bourbon biscuits, cocoa and the flavour of coffee cake.
Finish: Long and intriguing with lemon curd, olives and cocoa.
