Tasting Notes
"The nose is very fruity and floral, almost like what running through a field of flowers next to a peach orchard would smell like. On the palate, some more of that tart stone-fruit action, with mineral tones, malted milk chocolate, almonds and wheaty cereal. Very smooth, sweet and light, quite reminiscent of an Irish malt, but with its own je ne sais whisky. "
