Tasting Notes

"Caramel and vanilla surge with loads of orange before the barley grains flex their oiled up muscles and take over the whisky. This is a very barley forward blend. An upfront juiciness on the palate quickly dries out with a singe of peppery spice and clove. Apple, honey and a creamy buttery texture help balance out the palate as the whisky sits. The oak spice hits in the finish, then trails off into candied orange peel pith. "
