Tasting Notes
"Some soft lemon peel, vanilla custard, a whiff of oak shavings and just a hint of Greek yogurt with honey. Touches of moss and sweet nectarines as well. The nose isn't hugely expressive but enticing nonetheless. Creamy vanilla on the palate and an oily mouthfeel. Juicy fruits like pineapple and grapefruit, but also a whiff of honey and lemon peel. Finally touches of white chocolate, spicy ginger and a whisper of smoke. A nicely balanced, interestingly flavored single malt."
