Tasting Notes
"The nose on this whisky is tame and has very subtle hints of brine and sea air. On the palate, this whisky can only be described as graceful. Despite the high proof, it is light as air with notes of fresh pine needles, and cut wood. The finish is fresh, with a hint of vanilla biscuits. With additional sips, tropical fruits emerge. Not the first or last surprise from this unorthodox dram. "
