Tasting Notes
"This relatively young Scotch is a pale straw color, and immediately gives off a whiff of the char effect from the bourbon barrel it came from. There's some classic toffee and vanilla in there too, mixed in with sharp citrus and clove. It's quite light for a Scotch, and might make a good hot weather dram."
