Tasting Notes
"With a gentle and bright nose, this whisky smells simply delicious with mouthwatering green apple, lemon zest, and grassy aromas. The flavor isn't smoky but charred, like charred lemons on a beautiful fish dish. Joining the initial zing are honey, earthy malt, and vanilla that just gets stronger. The 50% ABV burn is perfection on the finish."
