Treacle, oats and lemon zest on the nose. Sweet ginger, peardrops and vanilla arrival, a short apple pie and black pepper finish.

Nose: Zesty, orange, children’s sweets Palate: Sweet and fresh, ‘zingy’. There’s apple and pear notes, but slightly artificial tasting (like the taste of fruit flavoured sweets). There are background hints of oak and salt Finish: Short finish. Sweet apple and pear. Light wood notes/ hints. This is quite a fresh tasting and fruity whisky. There’s a sour, slightly bitter note as it dissipates that flattens out to a woodiness and quickly disappears.

Sweet, oak smell. Easy, sweet, delicate. Would rather taste than smell.
