Tasting Notes
"The aroma shows an earthy profile with an average peat level. Bright citrus notes can be found if you dig a bit along with sweet malt, and smoldering embers. The body of the whisky leans medium-light with a moderate barrel spice. As you finish, you'll find more of the average peat taste with a gentle peppery bite and a light nutty flavor. Nothing to write home about, but nice enough. "
