Love it!! You have to work a little to get the best of it but it’s so worth the time and attention. This is a grossly under appreciated gem. Nose: Crisp pears Delicate ragweed and lantana Almost smoky but more floral herbal incense Vanilla Floral lemongrass Light bread and honey Arrival: Dense but soft flavour for the first few seconds Fairly sweet and nectar like Citric acidity develops A little green chilli Development: Starts showing it’s intensity at this point Grapefruit zest White pepper Tiny hint of herbal mulch Finish: Fresh cut hardwood Sauvignon Blanc style juicy, straw and gentle spices Finish lingers with a range of medicinal herbs If your a gin sipper I would say this is a good introduction scotch for you. A lot of the same characters show up in the bitter herbs and citrus notes. This is where you go once the gin trail gets a bit boring.

A floral, citrusy opening with hints of vanilla , oak, and pear at the end
