Tasting Notes
"Pour this and give it a moment to shrug off the aroma of paint thinner. Afterwards what remains is a class act whisky. Green bananas and mild iodine make for a humble aroma, but the palate turns on the charm with lots of silky cream malt, plantains, and a light earthy finish of salinized peat. There’s no long finish or anything flashy here. It’s subtle yet powerfully pleasing."
