Tasting Notes

"The first approach is very soft and not very expressive. This whisky needs a bit of time in the glass to develop and reveal its complexity. Eventually, fruit appears - specifically a fair amount of white peaches, melon and baked lemon. On the palate, it is mellow leading to oak which provides just enough of dryness and even hint of smokiness to balance the overall gentle character of the whisky. This is a very good whisky, even more elaborate and complex than the standard Hedonism bottlng. "
