Tasting Notes
"Swedish spirits are increasingly gaining recognition, and this release from Box is a great example of why. It's a multi-layered, complex single malt, with notes of pear, sea salt, lemon zest, and a touch of smoke, all leading up to a bright, warming finish. It compares very favorably to island Scotch whiskies, fans of which will find much to like here."
